Malware Reverse Engineer

What Your Day-To-Day Looks Like (Position Responsibilities):

• Malware Analysis & Reverse Engineering
• Conduct static and dynamic analysis of binaries and scripts; reverse engineer across architectures (x86/x64, ARM/ARM64, MIPS, others as needed).
• Analyze packed/obfuscated/encrypted code; build unpacking/decryption routines where required. 
• Tooling & Tradecraft
• Use tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, WinDbg, x64dbg, and related debuggers/disassemblers. 
• Detection Engineering Outputs
• Extract IOCs; develop YARA rules and behavioral signatures to support detection and mitigation.
• Identify persistence mechanisms, anti-analysis, and C2 protocols; assess multi-platform malware (Windows, Linux, macOS, mobile, embedded/IoT). 
• Documentation, Briefing & Testimony Readiness
• Produce thorough documentation of findings and conclusions; communicate clearly to non-expert audiences.
• Successfully complete a mock examination and defend results in a practical courtroom exercise (Government-run).

What You Need to Succeed (Minimum Requirements):

• Citizenship & Clearance
• U.S. Citizenship required.
• Active TS clearance with SCI eligibility required. 
• Reverse Engineering Expertise
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with advanced malware reverse engineering across architectures and platforms.
• Independence & Problem Solving
• Ability to work independently on complex problems without higher-tier escalation support; self-directed research and rapid learning.

Ideally, You Also Have (Preferred Qualifications):

• Proficiency in Python/PowerShell/Bash; additional experience in C/C++, Go, or Rust. 
• Familiarity with common malware families and threat actor TTPs; experience building detection content (YARA, behavioral signatures).
