Description

You will research and characterize Windows kernel vulnerabilities, develop and maintain CNO/CNE tools, perform reverse engineering of binaries, and integrate capabilities into mission frameworks. This role supports a government contract on-site in Arlington, VA.

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI clearance.
• 7–10+ years of software development experience focused on low-level or systems programming on Windows.
• Demonstrated hands-on Windows kernel vulnerability research experience.
• Strong proficiency in C, C++, Python, and x86/x64 Assembly.
• Deep understanding of Windows internals, reverse engineering tools, and networking protocols.

Responsibilities

• Research and characterize Windows kernel vulnerabilities (privilege escalation, sandbox escapes, persistence mechanisms).
• Design, develop, and maintain CNO/CNE tools for Windows platforms (kernel and user mode).
• Perform reverse engineering of Windows binaries and system components using IDA Pro, Ghidra, WinDbg.
• Develop kernel-mode and user-mode code in C/C++ and Assembly for implants, loaders, and exploit chains.
• Create and test exploitation techniques bypassing modern protections (ASLR, DEP, CFG, kernel mitigations).
