Have impact as part of a mission focused, solutions oriented, and adaptive team that values innovation, collaboration, and professional development. Your job will be to conduct Mobile Software Reverse Engineering (with support to development and malware analysis efforts).

While most work is conducted on-site at our client location in Bethesda, MD, we offer a flexible schedule and, some unclassified development tasks may be performed remotely. Percentage of remote work will vary based on client requirements/deliverables.

As a valued member of the team, you bring deep expertise in software engineering and exploitation against applications, middleware, operating systems (OS) user interface, OS drivers/runtimes, firmware and other binary data. You will work closely with other software engineers, data scientists, and system engineers on the following key tasks:

• Working experience in software engineering and related technologies. Experience in sizing and scoping, in design, implementation and delivery of mobile application solutions using iOS and/or Android development environments.
• Provide malicious code reverse engineering to isolate, review, analyze, and reverse-engineer potentially malicious programs recovered from compromised computer systems and networks.
• Research new trends, techniques, and packaging of malicious software to stay current and ready to identify and handle zero-day exploits.
• Research behavior of binaries and share detailed understanding of how apps behave at memory/register level in support of technical exploitation operations.
• Support efforts to design, prototype, document, test, conduct exploitation automation and transition code analysis methods and tools specific to technical exploitation operations.

You demonstrate clear devotion to the software engineering best practices and meet the following qualifications (required):

• Bachelor’s Degree and 8-12 years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 6+ years of prior relevant experience. Additional years of experience will be considered in lieu of degree.
