    Full time
    Description

    About the Role

    This role will be part of a small team of Vulnerability Researchers, tackling some of the most interesting cyber problems with a meaningful and tangible impact on the national security of the UK. You will be instrumental in standing up an industry-leading security facility.

    Successful Applicants must be able to commute to the UKTL offices in Birmingham at least twice a week We strive to offer a great work life balance - if you are looking for full time, part time or flexible options, we will try to make this work where business possible. This will be dependent on the kind of role you do and part of the business you work in. About You
  • Experience in multiple VR roles and/or organisations.
  • An interest and aptitude for vulnerability research (either from a professional background or by demonstrating an aptitude).
  • A passion for understanding how things work, testing them, pushing them to their limits, and finding security issues in them.
  • A deep understanding of hardware and software development lifecycles and their impact on security practices.
  • Applied knowledge of cryptographic algorithms and their uses (encryption, authentication, signatures, etc).
  • Knowledge of data structures, distributed systems, virtualisation and containerisation technologies.
  • A deep understanding of network protocols and how software works from assembly through to interpreted languages, and everything in between.
  • Experience of leveraging vulnerabilities such as memory corruption bugs (stack/heap/integer overflows, format strings), and techniques to bypass common security protections ( NX, stack canaries, heap protection, ASLR, etc.)
  • Knowledge and experience of embedded systems and operating systems, and hardware techniques for prototyping and debugging these.
  • Knowledge of Linux OS internals. Ability to self-learn any language, given appropriate resources to study and practice.
  • Practical knowledge of common white-hat exploitation toolsets and techniques for common flaws in low-level software, as well as web platforms ( SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, upload/download abuse, RCE).
  • Reverse engineering experience ( IDA Pro, Ghidra).
  • Experience using debuggers such as GDB.
  • We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in this specific area means that nationality, residency and security requirements are more tightly defined than others. To work in this role, you will need to have an SC clearance with no restrictions, or you must have the ability to obtain an SC clearance.
