SWE - User Land Security Researcher, SEAR (Early Career)
We are seeking an early-career Software Engineer and User-Land Security Researcher to help identify, analyse, and address security weaknesses in user-space software and systems. You will work with experienced security engineers and researchers to investigate vulnerabilities, develop proof-of-concept demonstrations, and improve the resilience of products and services. This role is suited to someone who enjoys understanding how software works at a low level and applying that knowledge to practical security problems.
Your responsibilities will include performing vulnerability research across applications, libraries, and operating-system components; analysing source code, binaries, crash data, and system behaviour; and developing tools, scripts, and automated techniques to support security testing. You will document findings clearly, assess potential impact, and collaborate with software engineers to validate issues and support effective remediation. You may also contribute to threat modelling, exploitability assessments, security reviews, and internal research projects, while sharing knowledge through technical reports and presentations.
We are looking for a degree, equivalent training, or demonstrated experience in computer science, software engineering, cybersecurity, or a related discipline. You should have practical programming experience in languages such as C, C++, Python, Rust, or a similar language, together with a foundational understanding of operating systems, memory management, debugging, and common vulnerability classes. Familiarity with reverse engineering, fuzzing, static or dynamic analysis, assembly language, application security, or security research tooling is desirable. Curiosity, careful analytical thinking, responsible handling of sensitive information, and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly are essential. We welcome candidates who have developed relevant skills through academic projects, independent research, internships, competitions, or open-source contributions.
