Security Research Expert

We are seeking highly skilled and motivated Security Research Experts to join a project focused on analyzing crashing inputs in open-source software. The successful candidates will be responsible for triaging crashes, identifying security vulnerabilities, assessing their real-world impact, and developing proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits. This role requires a deep understanding of vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and exploit development.\n\n🧠 Responsibilities : \n- Triage and validate crash reports to determine their security relevance.\n- Perform in-depth root cause analysis of complex software vulnerabilities.\n- Assess the exploitability of vulnerabilities and determine their potential impact.\n- Develop reliable PoC exploits for confirmed security vulnerabilities.\n- Clearly and concisely document all findings, including root cause, reproduction steps, and security impact.\n\n✅ Main Requirements : \n- Proven experience in vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and exploit development.\n- Strong understanding of common vulnerability classes, especially memory corruption bugs (e.g., buffer overflows, use-after-free, type confusion).\n- Proficiency with debugging and analysis tools such as GDB, WinDbg, IDA Pro, or Ghidra.\n- Hands-on experience with dynamic analysis tools and sanitizers (e.g., ASan, UBSan, Valgrind).\n- Familiarity with modern exploit mitigation techniques (e.g., ASLR, DEP / NX, Stack Canaries, CFI).\n- Solid understanding of operating system internals, memory management, and computer architecture.\n- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear and comprehensive technical documentation.\n\n🌍 Logistics : \nPay range : $55 - $75 / hr depending on experience\nExpected weekly hours : 10-40\nLocation requirements : remote, global (U.S. preferred)
