Senior Software Engineer (AI-Assisted Developer Tooling) with Security Clearance
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a fantastic opportunity to leverage your deep technical expertise in reverse engineering and low-level software to build cutting-edge AI-assisted tooling, with a highly competitive salary and hybrid flexibility. If you thrive on complex challenges and possess a TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance, you'll find immense satisfaction in developing advanced solutions that empower security professionals. Embrace this chance to make a significant impact and advance your career within a forward-thinking technology company.
Quick Overview
Job Description
This Software Engineer will bring strong reverse engineering skills to a team building automation and AI-assisted tools for advanced security operations workflows. You'll help evolve how reverse engineers work — combining binary analysis, disassembly, and workflow optimization with emerging AI techniques — and grow your AI/LLM expertise along the way.
Responsibilities
- Design and build tooling enhancements for RE workflows.
- Experiment with autonomous or semi-autonomous agents to support development.
- Automate common RE tasks, including analysis and documentation.
- Apply AI-assisted techniques to binary analysis, annotation, and pattern identification.
- Work directly with customers and teammates to shape and refine solutions.
- Measure and document the effectiveness of tooling improvements.
Required Skills
- Hands-on experience with RE tools such as Ghidra or IDA Pro.
- Strong understanding of low-level concepts: assembly, binaries, memory, calling conventions.
- Reverse engineering Linux-based network devices or embedded systems.
- Familiarity with firmware analysis, bootloaders, and networking protocols.
- C curiosity about AI/LLMs and some hands-on dabbling — ready to deepen that skill set on the job.
- Experience developing tools, scripts, or plugins for analysis workflows.
- Proficiency in at least one RE-relevant scripting or programming language.
- Some experience applying automation or AI to RE tasks.
- Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks or orchestration systems.
