Sr. Exploit Developer (US)

About the role

VulnCheck is looking for a Senior Exploit Developer with a background in reverse engineering and exploit development. This role is on our Initial Access Intelligence team, which delivers exploits and related artifacts designed to give VulnCheck customers visibility into exploitation from exposure through execution and detection. You’ll work with a seasoned team of hackers and threat researchers to help global enterprises, governments, and intelligence firms defend against emerging threats and get ahead of the attacker curve.

Responsibilities

• Reverse engineering software to discover the root cause analysis (RCA) of vulnerabilities.
• Authoring original software exploits for initial access vulnerabilities, when little or no publicly-available proof of concept code for exploiting such vulnerabilities exists.
• Implementing detections (such as Suricata & Snort signatures, YARA rules, etc.) for identifying such initial access vulnerabilities being exploited on the wire.
• Writing Attack Surface Management (ASM) queries (e.g., Shodan, Census, FOFA, & ZoomEye) for finding vulnerable systems likely to be targeted.

Requirements

• Prior experience with writing exploit code for RCE / initial access vulnerabilities (that do not require authentication to exploit).
• Experience working on technical projects remotely, alone, and on small teams.
• Prior Cybersecurity work experience (at a vendor or in Government).
• Able to share example exploit code written.

Qualifications

• Technical skills and knowledge in reverse engineering and exploit development.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

Skills

• Proficiency in programming languages relevant to exploit development.
• Knowledge of network protocols and security frameworks like Suricata, Snort, YARA, etc.
• Experience with security tools and platforms such as Shodan, Census, FOFA, and ZoomEye.
