  • Strong understanding of common vulnerability classes, especially memory corruption bugs (e.g., buffer overflows, use-after-free, type confusion).
  • Proficiency with debugging and analysis tools such as GDB, WinDbg, IDA Pro, or Ghidra.
  • Hands-on experience with dynamic analysis tools and sanitizers (e.g., ASan, UBSan, Valgrind).
  • Familiarity with modern exploit mitigation techniques (e.g., ASLR, DEP / NX, Stack Canaries, CFI).
  • Solid understanding of operating system internals, memory management, and computer architecture.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear and comprehensive technical documentation.
  • Logistics :

    Pay range : $55 - $75 / hr depending on experience
