AI for Reverse Engineering Researcher

Skills

About the Role

You will design and build a general-purpose reverse engineering harness that works with models on difficult analysis tasks such as highly adversarial malware analysis and software backdoor detection. You will build reverse engineering tasks, data and evaluation environments, and assess where the model falls short. You will also design and implement RL training environments and reward mechanisms, iterating on task distribution and difficulty to raise the model's reverse engineering ceiling.

Requirements

• Solid engineering skills with strong software architecture and module decomposition, able to independently design and implement medium-scale systems with clean, maintainable code
• Reverse engineering fundamentals: recover program structure, control flow and data flow without source code or documentation
• Rich harness engineering experience building from scratch and iterating, familiar with task orchestration, memory, self-evolution and failure attribution
• AI native, interested in AI, able to leverage parallel agents to amplify output
• Patient and responsible, values documenting intermediate artifacts and retrospectives; good communication, collaboration and escalation awareness

Responsibilities

• Design and develop a general reverse engineering harness supporting models on hard analysis tasks such as adversarial malware analysis and software backdoor detection
• Build reverse engineering tasks, data and evaluation environments and accurately assess model weaknesses
• Design and implement RL training environments and reward mechanisms
• Iterate on task distribution and difficulty gradients based on model performance
