Senior Reverse Engineer

Nyla Technology Solutions•Annapolis Junction, MD

About The Position

ACTIVE SECURITY CLEARANCE AT THE TS/SCI POLYGRAPH LEVEL IS REQUIRED Turn complex, malicious code into actionable security breakthroughs! In this role, you will perform technical analysis of malicious binaries using a variety of advanced static and dynamic methods. You won't just run automated sandboxes—you’ll dive directly into code execution to determine exact malware functionality, unpack complex payloads, and uncover high-fidelity indicators of compromise (IOCs). If you thrive on tearing apart malicious software, untangling obfuscated binaries, and turning technical findings into actionable operational countermeasures, you’ll fit right in with Team Nyla.

Requirements

Proven, hands-on experience performing reverse engineering on malicious binaries and unknown software payloads.
Solid technical proficiency with assembly languages and low-level program execution principles.
Hands-on experience with industry-standard static and dynamic analysis tools (e.g., IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, or GDB).
Demonstrated ability to isolate, extract, and document Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) across file systems, registry, and network traffic.
Strong understanding of Windows or Linux operating system internals, process injection techniques, and system APIs.
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cyber Security, or a related technical discipline, PLUS 7+ years of professional experience in reverse engineering, malware analysis, or vulnerability research OR Master’s Degree in a related field, PLUS 5+ years of specialized technical experience OR High School Diploma / GED , PLUS 11+ years of relevant hands-on experience in reverse engineering and low-level code analysis in lieu of a degree.

Nice To Haves

Practical experience crafting custom YARA rules or SNORT signatures based on reverse engineering findings.
Proficiency in Python or C/C++ to develop custom disassembly plugins, automated unpackers, or protocol decoders.
Ability to correlate binary execution behaviors with packet captures (PCAP) to reconstruct C2 channels.
Familiarity with configuring, deploying, or customizing automated detonation sandboxes and memory analysis frameworks (e.g., Volatility).
