Senior Vulnerability Researcher (Top Secret/SCI)

What we're looking for:

We need a senior security researcher with 5+ years of hands-on vulnerability research and exploit development experience who can independently explore and exploit complex systems — from kernels to embedded platforms. You should be comfortable scoping ambiguous attack surfaces with minimal guidance and have a track record of producing high-impact findings that influence security decisions. An active US Top Secret clearance (upgradeable to TS/SCI SAP) is required.

What you'll do:

Lead advanced vulnerability research efforts across operating systems, kernels, firmware, hypervisors, embedded platforms, and complex application stacks

Independently scope ambiguous or underexplored attack surfaces and drive research from initial hypothesis through validated findings

Perform deep reverse engineering and in-memory analysis of compiled binaries across multiple architectures (x86/x64, ARM, PowerPC)

Design and execute novel exploitation techniques and mitigation evaluations, identifying real-world weaknesses in modern defense mechanisms

Analyze undocumented or partially documented system behavior and extend internal interfaces or tooling to support research goals

Collaborate with other senior researchers to shape technical direction, review complex work, and raise the overall quality of research output

Translate low-level technical findings into clear, actionable insights for internal stakeholders and customers

Contribute to research culture through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and improvements to tools, methodologies, and workflows
