Description

• Overview: We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer specializing in Binary Analysis and Reverse Engineering. • Responsibilities: • Binary Analysis: Analyze compiled binary code to identify vulnerabilities, security risks, and performance inefficiencies. • Perform static and dynamic binary analysis to understand code execution and behavior. • Work with a variety of architectures (x86, ARM, etc.) and operating systems to understand how compiled programs function at the binary level. • Reverse Engineering: Reverse engineer malware, software, and firmware to identify vulnerabilities and understand malicious behavior. • Utilize disassembly tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, Radare2, or Binary Ninja to deconstruct binaries and analyze code paths. • Collaborate with security teams to develop solutions for detecting and mitigating reverse engineering risks. • Vulnerability Research: Conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify security weaknesses in software products. • Collaborate with software development teams to patch vulnerabilities, improve code security, and enhance performance. • Stay updated on the latest research and techniques in reverse engineering, binary analysis, and exploit development. • Tool Development: Develop and maintain custom tools for binary analysis, automation of reverse engineering tasks, and vulnerability detection. • Create scripts and utilities that improve reverse engineering efficiency and the ability to analyze large volumes of binaries. • Contribute to open-source projects in the reverse engineering and binary analysis domain, if applicable. • Collaboration and Documentation: Work closely with security, engineering, and product teams to ensure vulnerabilities are identified early and resolved efficiently. • Document findings and analysis in technical reports for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers in the areas of binary analysis and reverse engineering.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field. • 3-5+ years of experience in software development with a focus on binary analysis, reverse engineering, or low-level programming. • Proficiency in one or more low-level programming languages such as C, C++, or Assembly. • Experience with reverse engineering tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, Radare2, or Binary Ninja. • In-depth knowledge of operating systems, file formats, and binary execution environments. • Strong understanding of common vulnerability types (e.g., buffer overflows, use-after-free, etc.) and how they manifest in compiled code. • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically in analyzing software binaries.
