Vulnerability Researcher

Reference: ivwswdyo2i1d2g3zx1la

We are seeking a Vulnerability Researcher to identify, analyse, and responsibly disclose security weaknesses across software, hardware, embedded systems, and networked environments. You will conduct independent and collaborative research into emerging attack techniques, develop proof-of-concept exploits, and assess the practical impact of vulnerabilities. The role will involve reverse engineering binaries, analysing source code, debugging applications, fuzzing interfaces and protocols, and investigating vulnerabilities in complex technical systems.

You will be responsible for creating reliable, reproducible demonstrations of security issues and documenting your findings for both technical and non-technical audiences. Working with engineering, security, and product teams, you will help validate remediation strategies, support coordinated disclosure activities, and contribute to improving secure development practices. You may also monitor current threat research, participate in technical reviews, present findings at internal or external events, and contribute to tools, methodologies, and automated capabilities that improve vulnerability discovery.

Applicants should have substantial experience in vulnerability research, exploit development, penetration testing, reverse engineering, or a closely related discipline. Strong programming skills in languages such as C, C++, Python, Rust, or assembly are expected, along with practical knowledge of operating systems, memory management, debugging tools, and common vulnerability classes including memory corruption, privilege escalation, authentication flaws, and injection attacks. Experience with fuzzing frameworks, disassemblers, debuggers, virtualisation, or embedded platforms is highly desirable. You should be analytical, curious, and comfortable working on complex problems with limited initial information. Clear written and verbal communication, sound judgement, discretion, and a responsible approach to handling sensitive research are essential.
