Lead Reverse Engineer

At Two Six Technologies, we build, deploy, and implement innovative products that solve the world's most complex challenges today. Through unrivaled collaboration and unwavering trust, we push the boundaries of what's possible to empower our team and support our customers in building a safer global future.

Overview of Opportunity

Two Six Technologies is seeking a Lead Reverse Engineer to support our growing team in Dayton, Ohio. The team is composed of intellectual individuals, passionate about cybersecurity research. The team is growing and looking for someone with a reverse engineering and vulnerability research background who understands how to transition those findings into capabilities to support national security missions. The team wants to talk to you if you are actively performing in-depth Linux-based reverse engineering!

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.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 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 5 years of experience with software/firmware development using low-level programming languages (C and at least one assembly language), scripting languages (e.g., Python), and the *nix command line
• Strong familiarity with cybersecurity principles and a strong interest in learning more
• Minimum 5 years of experience with common disassemblers/decompilers and reverse engineering tools (IDA, Ghidra, Binary Ninja)
• Experience with software reverse engineering concepts: static analysis, dynamic analysis, fuzzing techniques
• Experience performing vulnerability research, including attack surface triage, finding vulnerabilities, and developing proofs of concept to demonstrate security impact
• Active US Security clearance of Secret level and ability to obtain and maintain TS
• Must be willing to obtain and maintain a Polygraph clearance

Nice to have, but not expected:

• Familiarity with Binary Ninja API or Ghidra scripting
• Familiarity building or securing embedded devices and other digital systems
• Familiarity with embedded binary reverse engineering (ARM, RTOS, etc.)
• Familiarity with basic cryptography design and implementation concepts
• Familiarity with Hardware and embedded devices
• Experience in a client-facing technical role
• An active Top Secret DoD or IC security clearance

Clearance Requirements:

• Active US Security clearance of Secret level and ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI
