Who you are

• 2-3+ years of direct people management experience
• 3+ years of software development experience
• 5+ years leading offensive security, vulnerability research, or red teams
• Experience hiring and interviewing engineers
• Proven ability to balance hands-on technical depth with strategic leadership
• Strong technical writing and communication skills, capable of conveying complex exploits to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Deep expertise in vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and exploit development
• In-depth knowledge of common exploitation techniques (e.g., SQL injection, path traversal, buffer overflows)
• Strong understanding of network protocols, virtualization technologies, and their role in exploitation vectors
• Experience with reverse engineering technologies like IDA or Ghidra
• Strong background in production software engineering, ideally in Python
• Familiarity with secure software development practices, Git version control, and effective team workflows
• Ability to evaluate technical designs and ensure high-quality, production-safe software
• Experience working with database systems like Postgres or Neo4j
• Experience with vulnerability disclosure processes (e.g., published CVEs) or bug bounty programs
• Familiarity with additional programming languages such as C, C++, Rust, or Assembly
• Knowledge of containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
• Experience working with cloud environments (AWS, etc.) and large-scale software projects
• Relevant security certifications (e.g., OSCP or equivalent) are a plus

What the job involves

• Leadership & Team Development
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Attack Engineers specializing in vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and exploit development
• Manage a diverse team across multiple seniority levels (from junior engineers to Principal Attack Engineers), ensuring appropriate career development, mentorship, and growth paths for each
• Set technical direction, priorities, and quality standards for vulnerability research and attack module development
• Foster a culture of continuous learning, raising the bar for offensive rigor, delivery quality, and secure software development practices
• Drive hiring and organizational scaling as the Vulnerability Research team expands
• Vulnerability Research Strategy & Execution (Hack, Fix, Verify, Repeat)
• Own the delivery strategy across vulnerability research, patch-diffing, and rapid N-Day weaponization
• Guide the development of end-to-end exploit methodologies:
• Oversee the reverse engineering of application binaries and patches (Java, C#, .NET, native binaries)
• Ensure the rapid and safe development of proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for integration into the core product
• Oversee the acquisition and configuration of test systems for exploit development and attack scenario validation
• Ensure NodeZero capabilities remain cutting-edge by maintaining a comprehensive global view of emerging vulnerabilities and the latest threat landscape
• Create tight feedback loops to ensure reverse-engineered exploits are swiftly weaponized and integrated into NodeZero
• Manage operational cadences and ensure the team is prepared to rapidly respond to high-priority emerging vulnerabilities
