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.
Nice to Have:
  • Some experience applying automation or AI to RE tasks.
  • Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks or orchestration systems.

Experience Required: 12 years with Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline, or 16 years without degree Location: Columbia, MD Clearance: TS/SCI with Polygraph required Salary Range: $204,000 - $247,000
