Experienced Vulnerability Researcher
We are seeking an Experienced Vulnerability Researcher to identify, analyse, and responsibly disclose security weaknesses across a broad range of software, hardware, embedded systems, and network technologies. You will conduct independent and collaborative research into vulnerabilities affecting operating systems, applications, protocols, and connected devices, with a focus on developing reliable proof-of-concept exploits and practical remediation guidance.
Your responsibilities will include performing vulnerability discovery through source code review, reverse engineering, fuzzing, static and dynamic analysis, and manual testing. You will investigate complex security issues, assess exploitability and impact, document technical findings, and work with engineering and security teams to validate fixes. You may also contribute to vulnerability intelligence, threat modelling, security advisories, conference papers, and presentations. The role requires staying current with emerging attack techniques, exploitation trends, defensive technologies, and relevant industry standards.
Applicants should have substantial professional experience in vulnerability research, penetration testing, exploit development, or a closely related discipline. Strong programming skills in languages such as C, C++, Python, Rust, or assembly are expected, along with practical experience using debuggers, disassemblers, fuzzing frameworks, and binary analysis tools. A thorough understanding of operating system internals, memory corruption, privilege escalation, secure coding principles, and common vulnerability classes is essential. Experience researching browsers, mobile platforms, cloud environments, industrial systems, or embedded devices would be advantageous. You should be analytical, persistent, and able to explain complex technical issues clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. The position may involve handling sensitive information, so sound judgement, discretion, and a commitment to responsible disclosure are required.
