Reverse Software Engineer

The Android Malware Reverse Engineers will conduct reverse engineering, security assessments, and code reviews. You will conduct and assist with complex decompilation, unpacking, code review and malicious mobile software reviews. The goal of the work is to identify families of malware and act on apps at scale. You will be responsible for developing static and dynamic signatures for mobile code, binaries, and executable code leading to the detection of a variety of threat types including malware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) and advanced persistent threats. Additionally, you will identify weaknesses in detections and automations and make recommendations for improvements in the detection process and automation pipeline. You are required to write complex reports for consumption of non-technical audiences, review peer reports and assist with investigations.

Requirements:

• Hands on Experience with the following: Analyzing, unpacking, and reverse engineering code of malicious applications or SDKs. Static and Dynamic Analysis Techniques Reverse Engineering tools such as Jadx, Ghidra, Frida, IDA Pro, Burp, to perform binary and APK analysis Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, Flutter, and other mobile software languages ELF (Native Binaries) reverse engineering Query languages such as SQL
• Understanding of the following topics Android Fundamentals such as Android activity lifecycles, common Android API usage, AOSP, and how an android application is created. Java and/or Kotlin Programing Language Techniques utilized by malicious software to harm the user s device or their data Mobile App store policies (Ads, PHAs, Developer, etc.)
• Ability to read, comprehend and analyze source code

Additional:
