6+ years of professional experience analyzing attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and building detection methods for real security threats
6+ years of development experience in C, C++, and Python, with the judgment to write code that is safe, fast, and maintainable in a security-critical codebase
Deep operating system internals knowledge, in both kernel and user mode, deep enough to reason about undocumented behavior and find security-relevant structures nobody has written about yet. Windows depth is what we need most, with macOS or Linux depth close behind
In-depth reverse engineering and malware analysis experience, and comfort with the tooling that makes hard binaries readable
An adversarial instinct. You anticipate how a protection will be evaded before it ships, and design for resilience rather than for the proof of concept in front of you
A collaborative mentality and an eagerness to learn new skills, new platforms, and emerging technologies
You have a proven track record of using AI to accelerate development, debug complex systems, and optimize code, while still owning the final outcomes
You work autonomously and can drive decisions and results in a distributed team by leveraging asynchronous, direct, and transparent communication
Passion for protecting the world's data from attack!
Vulnerability research and exploit development, particularly with a track record of responsible disclosure to platform vendors
Red teaming experience, or a background in building offensive tooling and defeating endpoint security products
Kernel-mode development, including driver development and debugging
Ownership or long-term maintenance of an open-source security tool with a real user base
Conference speaking experience (e.g., Black Hat, DEF CON, CODE BLUE, Virus Bulletin) or an established publication record
Experience applying machine learning to endpoint security problems
