Cyber Vulnerability Researcher

Reference: 21uetzhdwr0tbb7puic7

We are seeking a Cyber Vulnerability Researcher to identify, analyse, and help address security weaknesses across complex technology environments. In this role, you will conduct vulnerability research against operating systems, applications, embedded devices, cloud services, and network infrastructure. You will investigate emerging threats, develop proof-of-concept exploits where appropriate, and assess the real-world impact and exploitability of discovered vulnerabilities. Your findings will support defensive engineering, threat intelligence, incident response, and the prioritisation of remediation activities.

Key responsibilities include performing vulnerability assessments and security research, analysing software and system behaviour, reverse engineering binaries, and reproducing vulnerabilities in controlled environments. You will create clear technical reports describing attack methods, affected components, risk levels, and recommended mitigations. You will also collaborate with penetration testers, security engineers, developers, and incident response specialists to validate findings and improve detection and prevention capabilities. The role may involve monitoring vulnerability disclosures, tracking attacker techniques, contributing to internal research tooling, and presenting conclusions to both technical and non-technical audiences.

The successful candidate will have practical experience in vulnerability research, penetration testing, reverse engineering, exploit development, or a closely related discipline. Strong knowledge of common vulnerabilities, secure coding principles, operating systems, networks, and application security is essential. Proficiency with languages such as Python, C, C++, Rust, or assembly, together with experience using debugging, disassembly, fuzzing, and security testing tools, would be highly valuable. You should be curious, methodical, and able to work independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative team. Relevant professional experience, research publications, recognised security certifications, or a demonstrable portfolio of technical projects are advantageous. A commitment to responsible disclosure, continuous learning, and high-quality technical documentation is expected.
