Reverse Engineer

Chantilly, Virginia

You are a reverse engineer that decompiles malicious code. You know how to spot the "evil" and not fall for the deceptive code written by hackers to throw you off their trail. You have the skills to remove the obfuscation, decrypt the strings, identify the command-and-control links, find the functions, and even determine the compiler language used to make the malware. You have honed your craft looking at real attack vectors, running down leads in the ether of network flow data or within the perishable pages of memory on compromised hosts.

Now imagine yourself in a place where you are no longer constrained by the "push-button" and "wipe-and remediate" culture of incident response. A place where you will be afforded the time, resources, and toolsets to dive deep and explore the most advanced malware exemplars you have ever seen. A place where your technical skill is highly regarded and you are readily given the education and training resources to expand your knowledge exponentially. Most importantly, it is a place with real impact seen in the international headlines and many more untold accomplishments made quietly in the shadows.


As a reverse engineer in our firm, you will no longer have to imagine a place like this, because it will become your reality. We have an immediate opportunity for a malware analyst and reverse engineer like you. You will be conducting examinations and analysis of emerging nefarious technologies and previously unknown malicious exploits. You will have access to industry leading tools and optimized technical environments. All while working alongside colleagues and clients united in their efforts to ensure our nation's security. Are you ready to make a difference and accelerate your technical development

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
