Now is an amazing time to join Nozomi Networks as we build the future of OT and IoT cybersecurity.
We defend some of the world’s largest organizations and critical infrastructure in more than 68 countries and we’re just getting started. Our AI-powered cybersecurity platform secures operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures for enterprises and government entities across energy, manufacturing, transportation, resources, and critical infrastructure.
At Nozomi Networks, we're all about making the digital world safer—especially when it comes to OT and IoT security. We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Vulnerability Researcher to join our Security Research team and contribute to our 0-day research efforts.
As part of our team, you'll get to dive deep into IoT and OT devices in our Swiss laboratory, using cutting-edge techniques to discover and disclose new vulnerabilities in real-world environments. If you love the thrill of breaking things (ethically, of course) to make them stronger, you’ll fit right in!
Why Join Us?
You'll be working alongside top-tier security experts in a collaborative, innovative environment where your discoveries will have a real impact. If researching new vulnerabilities and uncovering security flaws excites you, this is the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Discover, analyze, and disclose 0-day vulnerabilities in embedded systems and network devices.
- Reverse-engineer undocumented protocols to uncover security weaknesses.
- Get hands-on with emerging cybersecurity technologies, ensuring our research stays ahead of the game.
- Develop new methodologies and tools for vulnerability research, exploit development, and binary analysis.
- Use our internal lab to simulate real-world attack scenarios, tinker with hardware hacking, and push device security to the limit.
- Collaborate with the Technical Lead and fellow researchers to drive impactful security research.
What We’re Looking For:
- Passion for vulnerability research, new discoveries drive and fuel you. You are not a pentester who runs automated tools, scanning for already known vulnerabilities before moving on to the next target. You thrive on original research and uncovering the unknown.
- Attention to detail and curiosity. We have built our credibility through groundbreaking discoveries, bleeding-edge research, and a strong respect for our partners and processes.
- A strong methodological and structured approach to your activities.
- Strong skills in reverse engineering tools like IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, or Radare2, and the ability to look at things from multiple angles.
- Proven experience finding and exploiting new vulnerabilities in embedded systems, firmware, and network protocols.
- Proficiency in programming and scripting languages like Python, Ruby, or similar.
- Expertise in analyzing binaries in both Windows and Linux environments.
- Ability to handle confidential research and work under strict non-disclosure agreements.
- Full proficiency in both Italian and English.
Bonus Points for:
- Hands-on experience with hardware hacking and debugging techniques (JTAG, UART, SPI, etc.).
- Familiarity with network traffic analysis and intrusion detection systems.
- Industry certifications like OSCP, OSCE, GREM, or CISSP (nice to have but not required).
- Contributions to security conferences, publications, or open-source security tools.
- Disclosed CVEs.
- Participation in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions or public vulnerability research projects.
If uncovering critical security threats before they can be exploited is what drives you, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and help shape the future of OT and IoT security at Nozomi Networks!
