We are looking for aspiring vulnerability researchers to join Interrupt Labs over summer, where you will develop your skills alongside some of the most experienced researchers in the industry.
Over 12 weeks, successful applicants will:
Participate in the Vulnerability Researcher Bootcamp, where you will learn core skills in reverse engineering and vulnerability research (VR) through a mix of instructor-led and self-led training over 4 weeks.
Work alongside Interrupt Labs' researchers on your own research project, allowing you to further develop your skills with support and guidance.

Based in Canberra, ACT or willing to relocate for at least the first 4 weeks
