About the role
Connected products run the world: vehicles, medical devices, industrial systems, and critical infrastructure—and securing them is one of the hardest engineering problems there is. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Proficiency with firmware reverse engineering tools, specifically Ghidra and/or Binary Ninja, ability to analyze ARM, MIPS, PPC, RISC-V, x86, and x64 architectures
- Working familiarity with standard network protocols and web/mobile application testing methodology - many IoT and automotive targets ship with companion apps and cloud APIs that are part of the real attack surface
- Ability to read and review source code in C and C++ to identify memory safety issues, authentication flaws, and other security weaknesses in embedded software
- Familiarity with SBOM concepts, formats (CycloneDX, SPDX), and the use of SBOMs in vulnerability management
- Working fluency with CVSS scoring and VEX, including how an exploitability determination is defended to a customer
- Ability to map findings to at least one relevant regulatory or standards framework and explain the implications to a customer. Breadth across frameworks is a plus, not a requirement
