  • What You'll Need:
    Required:
  • Knowledge of reverse engineering tools (disassemblers, decompilers, debuggers) and processes (unpacking malware, reconstructing code logic, etc).

  • Understanding of Windows OS internals.

  • Knowledge of programming and scripting languages, in particular Python.

  • Ability to identify and classify malicious tooling through development of signatures that can be used for tracking and hunting purposes.

  • Ability to express complex technical and non-technical concepts in written, verbal and graphical products.

  • Proven track record of relevant experience in the field cybersecurity

  • Be a team player


  • Preferred:
