Job description

Are you passionate about discovering, fixing or exploiting software vulnerabilities? Are you a creative and outside-the-box problem solver? Do you want to help defend the nation? This might be the job for you!

This defence firm seeks a talented software vulnerability researcher to assess critical systems and develop novel cyber defence techniques. You will develop proof-of-concept demonstrators and research the connections between software, hardware, infrastructure and user interactions to identify and understand vulnerabilities. This companies rapid approach to design and implementation means your work won’t stall at the concept stage.

Requirements:

  • Demonstrable experience in vulnerability research.
  • Good knowledge of how software and hardware interact at a low-level e.g. drivers, firmware, embedded systems, etc.
  • Fluent programmer in C, C++ or Python.
  • STEM degree from a top university.
  • UK nationality, for security reasons.

Additional knowledge or expertise in reverse engineering, cyber-physical systems, networking and network protocols, or virtualisation and containerisation is desirable but not essential.

You will be working full time at their state-of-the-art office and labs located south of Cambridge with on-site parking. They have a strong culture of openness and teams aren’t siloed away from each other. Instead, you’ll be working alongside engineers and scientists with various specialties providing unique opportunities for learning as well as a formal mentorship programme.

Please note: even if you don't have exactly the background indicated, do contact us now if this type of job is of interest - we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to. And of course, we always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.
