Seeking undergraduate and graduate college students for Vulnerability Researcher (VR), Low-Level Software Developer, and Reverse Engineer (RE) internships for the Summer of 2022. We’re looking for people who want to break things and have fun doing it. We’re looking for developers, hackers, researchers, and engineers with an interest in information security and low-level development. We refuse any work that isn’t hard and engaging. Our research and development projects cover the spectrum of security technologies for Computer Network Operations. If it runs code, somebody in our office has looked at it. That’s why we are called Cyber Offense/Defense Experts (CODEX). Projects are undertaken on small teams in close coordination with customers to quickly deliver or enhance capabilities.

Cyber Security research continues to be a growth industry and we are constantly looking to find the right candidates who can do this challenging work. If you’re comfortable living in the kernel, developing drivers, or stepping through code without the source, we’d love to hear from you! If you’ve discovered a kernel paged pool exploit, modified JIT engines to add your own instrumentation to mitigate entire vulnerability classes, created a heap-based buffer overflow with ASLR/DEP defeats, used solvers to highlight interesting call/dataflow graphs, or created custom hardware emulators… you’ll be right at home in CODEX.

Security Clearance

This position requires the ability to obtain a government security clearance. Except in rare circumstances, only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Required Qualifications

• Ability to adapt both an offensive and defensive mindset to support securing information systems.
• Demonstrated experience implementing computer security
• Ability to work with limited supervision and must be a self-starter with initiative
• Demonstrated ability to research and create detailed computing system documentation and operational guides/procedures
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to interact with a diverse user community in quick-response situations

​Vulnerability Researcher Requirements:

•  Proficiency in one or more scripting languages (ex. Python, Ruby, Bash, Powershell)
• Some knowledge of how to debug a system (GDB, WinDbg, JTAG, etc.
• Familiar with how the compiler, assembler and linker work to build ELF / PE files
• Assembly language experience or familiarity (x86, ARM, PPC, MIPS)

​Software Developer Requirements:

• Coding skills in C/C++ and/or Python
• Coding design patterns and algorithms

​Reverse Engineering Requirements:

• Reverse engineering experience (e.g. IDA Pro, WinDbg, ollydbg, gdb, objdump)
• Hardware emulation development (e.g. QEMU, Unicorn, Panda, VHDL)

​​​​​​​​​Desired Qualifications

• Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA (Please upload an unofficial transcript when applying)
• Computer network operations experience (e.g. CTFs, red/blue teams, pen testing)
• Networked communications development (e.g. TCP/UDP sockets, Bluetooth, GSM)
• Cryptographic experience (e.g. implementing AES, side channel attacks)
• Mobile/embedded development (e.g. Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi)
• Active U.S. Government Security Clearance

Required Education
Pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity-relevant field (e.g. CS, CPE, EE).  A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher is desired. Please include your transcript with your resume.

Our Interviews
Our interviews are technical. Come prepared to tell us about your technical background and interests as well as to work through some of our questions on a computer or whiteboard. We hope candidates find our questions to be thought provoking, but we don’t ask brain teasers or tricks. This is a chance to have a dialog with our team, and we hope you will enjoy.
