Description de poste

We are seeking highly skilled and motivated Security Research Experts to join a project focused on analyzing crashing inputs in open-source software. The successful candidates will be responsible for triaging crashes, identifying security vulnerabilities, assessing their real-world impact, and developing proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits. This role requires a deep understanding of vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and exploit development.

Responsibilities :

  • Triage and validate crash reports to determine their security relevance.
  • Perform in-depth root cause analysis of complex software vulnerabilities.
  • Assess the exploitability of vulnerabilities and determine their potential impact.
  • Develop reliable PoC exploits for confirmed security vulnerabilities.
  • Clearly and concisely document all findings, including root cause, reproduction steps, and security impact.

Main Requirements :

  • Proven experience in vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and exploit development.
  • 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

    Expected weekly hours : 10-40

    Location requirements : remote, global (U.S. preferred).
