We’re growing our Vulnerability Research Team and are looking for a Principal Vulnerability Researcher to perform security research into a wide-range of carrier-grade telecoms devices, including routers, firewalls, and mobile network nodes.

This is a hands-on, office-based role for a researcher with extensive expertise in finding and demonstrating security vulnerabilities in embedded and networked systems.

The Role

• Vulnerability research against real-world network and embedded devices
• Reverse engineering firmware and binaries to discover security vulnerabilities
• Performing source code analysis to identify memory safety issues, logic flaws, and design weaknesses
• Designing and running fuzzing campaigns against protocols, services and interfaces, on both the target device and via emulation
• Working with a variety of CPU architectures such as ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and x86-64
• Providing technical leadership and setting research standards
• Investigating how individual vulnerabilities can be chained to maximise system compromise
• Developing and maintaining tools to improve personal and team productivity
• Producing clear, high-quality technical reports describing root cause and impact
