What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cybersecurity Researcher position at Two Six Technologies?
Two Six Technologies is seeking an experienced Cybersecurity Researcher to support our programs at our Arlington, Virginia headquarters. This role is technical at its core – along with in-depth reverse engineering and exploit development you will transition those findings into capabilities.
Job Responsibilities & Duties
- Given the technical nature of this role, experience in computer science, computer engineering, or a similar field is required. Significant proven experience in reverse engineering (RE) or vulnerability research (VR) can show your fit even if your background is outside of one of these fields.
- You should be comfortable taking on complex technical problems for which there is often no known answer.
- You should be comfortable with ambiguity and forging your own path; our small team setting will provide you opportunity for outsized impact.
- While you will receive extensive training, mentorship, and coaching, you must be comfortable executing against goals independently since there’s no playbook for breaking unique complex systems.
Qualifications & Skills- Required:
- Bachelor’s (or higher) degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field (solid knowledge in RE or VR may substitute for a specific degree)
- Minimum 3 years of experience in firmware development using low-level programming languages (C and at least one assembly language), scripting languages (e.g., Python), and the *nix command line
- Minimum 3 years of experience with common disassemblers/decompilers and reverse engineering tools (IDA, Ghidra, Binary Ninja)
- Active US Security clearance of Top Secret level and ability to obtain and maintain SCI
Nice to have, but not expected:
- Experience with firmware/driver development across Linux and Windows OS’es
- Strong familiarity with cybersecurity principles and telecommunication systems (4G, 5G), sub-GHz wireless, 802.11, 802.15, and IoT devices
- Strong familiarity with cybersecurity principles and a strong interest in providing guidance to program staff
- Experience with software reverse engineering concepts: static analysis, dynamic analysis, fuzzing techniques
- Familiarity with building or securing embedded devices, other digital systems, and embedded binary reverse engineering (ARM, RTOS, etc.)
- Familiarity with basic cryptography design and implementation concepts
Clearance Requirements:
- Active US Security clearance of Top Secret level and ability to obtain and maintain SCI
