Cyber Vulnerability Researcher

Reference: vgshrwd1alm2uuwn9086

We are seeking a Cyber Vulnerability Researcher to identify, analyse, and help mitigate security weaknesses across complex software, hardware, and network environments. You will conduct vulnerability research using a combination of manual analysis, reverse engineering, fuzzing, code review, and dynamic testing. The role will involve investigating emerging threats, validating reported vulnerabilities, developing proof-of-concept exploits where appropriate, and assessing the potential impact, exploitability, and scope of identified issues.

You will collaborate with security engineers, developers, incident responders, and technical stakeholders to communicate findings clearly and support effective remediation. Responsibilities will include producing detailed technical reports, documenting attack paths and reproduction steps, recommending practical mitigations, and contributing to vulnerability disclosure and tracking processes. You may also support security assessments, threat modelling, penetration testing, malware analysis, and the development of internal tools, scripts, and automation to improve research efficiency. Staying informed about new attack techniques, vulnerability classes, defensive technologies, and relevant industry standards will be an important part of the position.

Applicants should have professional or demonstrable practical experience in vulnerability research, offensive security, application security, reverse engineering, or a closely related discipline. Strong knowledge of common vulnerability classes, operating systems, networking, secure coding principles, and security testing methodologies is required. Experience with languages such as Python, C, C++, JavaScript, or Rust, along with familiarity with debugging and analysis tools, is highly desirable. Experience using fuzzing frameworks, disassemblers, debuggers, virtualisation platforms, or cloud environments would be advantageous. The successful candidate will demonstrate analytical thinking, careful attention to detail, sound technical judgement, and the ability to explain complex findings to both technical and non-technical audiences. A curious, ethical, and methodical approach to research is essential.
