  • Collaborate with a team to analyze secure mobile applications (Android and iOS) to identify security flaws and vulnerabilities
  • Exploit weaknesses in encryption, secure storage, and code execution to improve system defenses
  • Develop custom data analysis and recovery tools tailored to specific operational needs
  • Interact directly with government customers and engineering personnel of varying technical levels to communicate project status and technical results




Required Experience/Clearance

  • 3 years of experience providing software development support in a dynamic, proactive, or operational environment
  • Proficiency in at least one primary programming language: C#, C/C , Java, or Python
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Bash, PowerShell, or Perl
  • Demonstrated ability to take direction, operate independently, and contribute effectively to a team environment




Desired Experience

  • Proven experience in cloud application development using AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, including serverless computing, microservices, and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
  • Familiarity with network protocol analysis tools such as Wireshark or tcpdump
  • Knowledge of Operating System (OS) internals, compiler concepts, and TCP/IP network internals
  • Experience with industry-standard reverse engineering tools such as IDAPro, HexRays, or OllyDbg
