Senior Computer Network Operations Engineer

Accountabilities:

• • Design and develop custom tooling and specialized technical capabilities to address complex operational requirements and accelerate mission development.
  • Apply advanced C/C++ and inline assembly expertise to low-level engineering tasks involving memory management, pointer arithmetic, and system call interfaces.
  • Analyze binaries, malware, firmware, and compiled software using tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, and Binary Ninja.
  • Conduct vulnerability analysis and develop proof-of-concept capabilities for identified security weaknesses.
  • Analyze and work across x86/x64 and ARM architectures, including disassembled code and low-level system components.
  • Develop and analyze software operating at the Windows and Linux kernel level, including processes, threads, memory, and system internals.
  • Apply advanced knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, and HTTP/S to support network analysis, protocol manipulation, and specialized communications capabilities.
  • Develop and maintain specialized implants, backdoors, beacons, and command-and-control infrastructure in accordance with mission requirements.
  • Perform static and dynamic analysis of software, including analysis of packers, obfuscation, and defensive-evasion techniques.
  • Use network and security analysis tools such as Wireshark, Scapy, Nmap, and tcpdump to investigate protocols and network behavior.
  • Leverage debugging, emulation, exploitation, and fuzzing tools such as Metasploit, pwntools, QEMU, AFL, and related platforms.
  • Build, compile, and maintain software using Git, Make, CMake, GCC, Clang, and cross-compilation environments.
  • Adapt quickly to changing operational priorities and effectively transition between multiple technical challenges and mission requirements.

  Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline.
  • Secret security clearance with the ability to obtain TS/SCI clearance.
  • Strong expertise in C/C++, including low-level programming concepts, memory management, pointers, and system interfaces.
  • Demonstrated experience with inline assembly and advanced understanding of x86/x64 and ARM architectures.
  • Strong knowledge of Windows operating system internals, including kernel-mode programming, process and thread management, and virtual memory.
  • Proficiency in reverse engineering and binary analysis using tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, or Binary Ninja.
  • Experience analyzing vulnerabilities, binaries, malware, firmware, and compiled software.
  • Strong understanding of TCP/IP networking, DNS, HTTP/S, and network traffic analysis.
  • Experience with implant and driver development.
  • Familiarity with specialized security, debugging, emulation, and fuzzing tools, including Wireshark, Scapy, Nmap, tcpdump, Metasploit, pwntools, QEMU, and AFL.
  • Experience with Git, Make, CMake, GCC/Clang, and cross-compilation toolchains.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work through complex technical challenges independently.
  • Ability to adapt quickly, manage competing priorities, and operate effectively in a mission-focused environment.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to contribute effectively within multidisciplinary technical teams.
