  • Develop novel introspection, memory forensics, and file system methods to extract critical security events towards threat detection.

  • Collaborate with external and internal hardware and software research teams to apply extracted events for advanced malware detection.

  • Architectural modeling, validation, microarchitectural definition, and developing proof-of-concepts secure platforms.

What we need to see:

  • MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in memory forensics, introspection, operating systems, and file systems as well as common malware patterns and mitigation techniques.

  • Programming and debugging fundamentals across languages such as Python, and C/C++.

  • Strong communication skills and a genuine passion for working together as a team are vital.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Demonstrated security research experience and publications in top security conferences.

  • Experience with high-scale deployment challenges, networking, and machine learning.

  • Architectural background in hardware and software systems codesign.
