Cohere is seeking specialized engineering expertise for an Android CNO Developer position. Applicants should demonstrate in depth experience with both Linux and Android tool development, including the Android Kernel. As an Android CNO Developer, you develop capabilities in support of operations. Your primary focus will be developing tools that work in both user and kernel space. You will play a crucial role in developing custom capabilities used on live systems. You will be a key player supporting national security interests.
This position requires an active TS/SCI clearance.
Requirements and Skills:
When assessing candidates for the CNO Developer position, Cohere is looking for candidates with the following knowledge, skills, and abilities:
Coding – Candidates should be able to demonstrate experience coding in C/C++ and Python, including understanding Object Oriented Programming, Networking (sockets), Multithreading, and implementing cryptographic protocols for data at rest and data in transit.
Exploitation – You should have in depth knowledge with a wide range of techniques, including stack and heap attacks such as buffer overflows, off by one vulnerabilities, memory leaks, and format string attacks, and understand how to bypass protections like DEP and ASLR.
Reverse Engineering – you should be comfortable using RE tools including both debuggers and disassemblers. You should also have an understanding of assembly constructs and calling conventions. Familiarity with binary diffing is a plus.
Creative Thinking – as Operating Systems evolve, tools that worked before might not work in the future. We need team members who are driven to learn and excited about solving hard problems who can adapt to changing environments.
Communication – Just as important as your technical skills, as a Subject Matter Expert, you are expected to advise and assist the other teammates. This requires being able to clearly break down and explain complex techniques to others.
Collaboration – You should know how to use a version control system and CI/CD tools, preferably git or gitlab. Interested in working in this space, but don’t feel you meet all the qualifications? Reach out anyway. Cohere is willing to mentor and develop promising candidates, ensuring they have the skills and abilities necessary to excel.
