Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

Key Responsibilities:

• Apply software engineering principles to develop robust and resilient software solutions for critical national security missions
• Develop static analysis tools to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in software systems
• Implement and refine fuzzing techniques to discover potential security weaknesses
• Conduct thorough security assessments to ensure the integrity and security of operational (or soon-to-be operational) software systems

Who you are:

• This position requires the ability to obtain a Top Secret (TS) security clearance, for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government.
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, or related field with 5+ years of relevant professional experience
• Strong background in C/C++ and ability to rapidly pick up other languages
• Experience with static analysis tools and techniques
• Solid understanding of software engineering principles and practices
• Ability to develop engineering solutions to first-of-its-kind problems
• Familiarity with assembly language, operating systems internals (memory/process/thread management), threading, compiler technologies (e.g., GCC, LLVM)
• Experience with software scripting and build automation tools (e.g. bash, make)
• Experience with build tools and dependency management (e.g., LLVM+Clang, GNU Make/CMake/pip/Gradle/Cargo)
• General understanding of reverse engineering fundamentals: memory layout, calling conventions, etc.

Nice to haves:

• Containerization experience (e.g., Docker/Podman)
• Proficient in Rust
• CI/CD DevOps Tool experience (e.g., Github Actions / GitlabCI / Jenkins)
• Experience with dynamic analysis tools (e.g., PIN / DynamoRio / AFL++) to include development of fuzzing tools
