About The Position

Vulnerability Researchers at NightWing CODEX analyze systems to understand how they work and how they behave when they break. The role involves both developing and defeating advanced security techniques. Projects are undertaken in small teams, with close coordination with customers. Engineers write code and may spend as much time taking systems apart as building new ones. A typical day may involve studying disassembly or writing Python to audit C++ code.

Requirements

Active TS/SCI clearance is required.
Experience with C or C++.
At least 2 years of experience.
U.S. citizenship is required.
Must meet the requirements to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.
BS/MS in a technical discipline, or equivalent work experience.

Nice To Haves

Three or more of the listed desired skills.
Understanding of operating system internals for any major operating system.

Understanding of network protocols, including TCP/IP stacks, wire-level protocols, RF communications, BGP, or routing protocols.
Understanding of exploit mitigations such as DEP and ASLR.
Experience using reverse-engineering tools such as IDA Pro, HexRays, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, or objdump.
Experience using debuggers such as gdb, WinDbg, or OllyDbg.
Experience building and using tools to find, exploit, and productize vulnerabilities in complex software systems.
