Qualifications
Requirements
+ Active TS/SCI clearance required, Poly preferred + Strong software development experience, particularly in one or more of the following languages: + C + C++ Python + Assembly + Experience or strong interest in vulnerability research, reverse engineering, exploit development, or offensive cyber operations.

+ Familiarity with reverse engineering tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, or similar tools. + Ability to analyze software, binaries, systems, or applications to understand functionality and identify weaknesses. + Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work through complex technical challenges independently and as part of a team. + Demonstrated curiosity for how systems work and how they can fail or be exploited. + Ability to think creatively and approach technical problems from an adversarial perspective. + Willingness to learn and grow in advanced offensive cyber operations, vulnerability research, and cyber capability development. + Ability to work collaboratively in a mission-focused environment supporting NIWC Atlantic. _We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
