About The Position

VulnCheck is seeking a Senior Exploit Developer to join its Initial Access Intelligence team. This role involves working with a seasoned team of hackers and threat researchers to deliver exploits and related artifacts, designed to give VulnCheck customers visibility into exploitation from exposure through execution and detection. The primary focus is on initial access vulnerabilities, but the role also offers opportunities to work on a variety of local and other exploits, as well as contributing to the open-source go-exploit framework. This is a 100% remote position, but candidates must be based in one of VulnCheck's US hubs in Massachusetts, Maryland, or Austin, TX. VulnCheck aims to transform vulnerability intelligence by helping security teams act faster and with more confidence, delivering early, high-quality exploit intelligence, deep asset correlation, and contextual insights to help organizations stay ahead of emerging threats.

Requirements

Prior experience with writing exploit code for RCE / initial access vulnerabilities (that do not require authentication to exploit)
Experience working on technical projects remotely, alone, and on small teams

Nice To Haves

Prior Cybersecurity work experience (at a vendor or in Government).
Able to share example exploit code written.

Responsibilities

Reverse engineering software to discover the root cause analysis (RCA) of vulnerabilities.
Authoring original software exploits for initial access vulnerabilities, when little or no publicly-available proof of concept code for exploiting such vulnerabilities exists.
Implementing detections (such as Suricata & Snort signatures, YARA rules, etc.) for identifying such initial access vulnerabilities being exploited on the wire
Writing Attack Surface Management (ASM) queries (e.g., Shodan, Census, FOFA, & ZoomEye) for finding vulnerable systems likely to be targeted
