Overview

Job Level: Junior, Mid, or Senior. We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled CNO Developer / Computer Scientist / Reverse Engineer to join our team. This role involves designing, developing, and maintaining complex software systems that support Computer Network Operations (CNO). You will work on mission-critical projects, providing innovative solutions to emerging cybersecurity challenges.

• Software Development: Design, develop, test, and maintain low-level software in a CNO environment. Work with assembly, C/C++, Python, or other relevant programming languages to create robust, high-performance software. Develop custom tools and scripts to automate tasks, analyze data, and improve system performance. Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code that meets security and performance standards.
• Reverse Engineering: Analyze, decompile, and reverse-engineer software binaries to understand vulnerabilities and potential exploits. Develop proof-of-concept exploits to demonstrate potential vulnerabilities in targeted systems.
• Vulnerability Research: Identify, analyze, and document software vulnerabilities. Collaborate with team members to develop mitigations and workarounds for discovered vulnerabilities.
• System and Network Analysis: Conduct network traffic analysis to identify anomalies, potential threats, and areas for improvement. Develop and implement solutions for network security, ensuring systems are protected against potential intrusions.
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including system engineers, analysts, and other developers, to ensure seamless integration of software components. Participate in design and code reviews to ensure adherence to best practices and standards.
• Documentation: Prepare detailed technical documentation and reports, including user guides, system design documents, and vulnerability assessments. Ensure all documentation is clear, concise, and accessible to team members and stakeholders.

• Clearance:
  Active TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph is mandatory.
• Education:
  
  Bachelor degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. Relevant experience may substitute for education.

• Junior Level: 1-3 years of experience in CNO development, software engineering, reverse engineering, or a related field.
• Mid-Level: 3-7 years of experience in CNO development, software engineering, reverse engineering, or a related field.
• Senior Level: 7+ years of experience in CNO development, software engineering, reverse engineering, or a related field.

• Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as C, C++, Python, or Assembly.
• Experience with reverse engineering tools (e.g., IDA Pro, Ghidra).
• Strong understanding of computer networks, operating systems (Windows, Linux), and network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, etc.).
• Familiarity with software development methodologies and version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Experience with debugging and profiling tools.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality work.

• Certifications:
  
  OSCP, CEH, CISSP, or GPEN.
