Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience (or equivalent hands-on work through side-projects, hobbies, class projects, etc.) in the field of system security research, and exploring software + hardware techniques as a method of attack against targets within computing systems

Preferred qualifications:

• In-depth experience with vulnerability research

• Demonstrated expertise in exploit development (published exploits and write-ups on exploiting new classes of issues, new techniques, tools are greatly appreciated)

• Reverse Engineering experience (or, for researchers focused on open-source software, demonstrated expertise on reading assembly and writing exploits for complex vulnerability classes)

• Knowledge of computer architecture, CPU, SoC, chipsets, BIOS, Firmware, Drivers, and other compute paradigms

The ideal candidate should also have:

• Ability to work autonomously in a less structured startup type environment with minimal supervision

• Ability to span security expertise over HW, SW and Firmware domains

• Passion for security research and community impact, demonstrated by published research and collaboration to community efforts (yes, Phrack and PoC '' GTFO papers are appreciated more than certifications)
