Job Description

Overview

We are seeking a skilled and innovative Cybersecurity Developer to join our team and take a leading role in the development of cybersecurity-focused software tools. Your primary focus will be designing, developing, and maintaining solutions to address real-world cybersecurity threats, with an initial emphasis on ransomware detection, analysis, and mitigation. This role is ideal for someone with a solid foundation in cybersecurity concepts and hands-on software development experience. 

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop security-focused tools, frameworks, and utilities—initially centered on ransomware threats.
• Create proof-of-concept implementations and prototypes based on emerging threats and security research.
• Analyze ransomware behavior, techniques, and artifacts to inform tool design.
• Implement automation for detection, sandboxing, reverse engineering, or alerting mechanisms.
• Work with low-level APIs and system internals (Windows, Linux) as needed.
• Maintain and extend existing tools based on user feedback and evolving threat landscapes.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including malware analysts, threat researchers, and software engineers.
• Participate in code reviews and security audits of the developed tools.
• Stay current with cybersecurity developments, vulnerabilities, and offensive/defensive tactics.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 2+ years of experience in software development with a focus on cybersecurity tools or systems-level programming.
• Strong programming skills in at least one of the following: Python, C/C++, Rust, Go.
• Solid understanding of cybersecurity principles, threat modeling, and malware/ransomware behavior.
• Experience working with ransomware samples, emulators/sandboxes, or behavioral analysis platforms.
• Familiarity with operating system internals (especially Windows and Linux) and low-level programming concepts.
• Experience with reverse engineering, static/dynamic analysis, or binary instrumentation tools (e.g., Ghidra, IDA Pro, Frida).
• Knowledge of network security, threat intelligence, and common attack vectors (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK).
• Ability to translate research and theoretical threats into practical software implementations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Contributions to open-source cybersecurity projects or custom toolsets.
• Experience with virtualization, container security, or cloud-based threat hunting tools.
• Knowledge of encryption, secure coding practices, and exploit mitigation techniques.
• Familiarity with SIEM tools, EDR platforms, or forensic toolchains.
• Understanding of AI/ML applications in cybersecurity.
