## About the role

General Matter builds its own technology: the software, firmware, control systems, and infrastructure that run an industrial nuclear fuel facility. At most companies, a security bug costs you data. Here, the software we build, and any security vulnerabilities we miss, touch the real world. The Security team's job is to find those gaps before anyone else does. We do that through offensive testing, code audits, design reviews, and hardening the systems we ship. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field
- Security experience in one or more of the following: C, C++, Rust, Go, Python, x86, ARM, cryptography, reverse engineering, embedded systems, or network protocols
- A strong understanding of common vulnerability classes and how to exploit them, such as SQLi, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, memory corruption, and authentication or authorization flaws
- Experience auditing code and features, and comfort reading large codebases you didn't write
- Strong investigative and analytical problem-solving skills. You keep digging after the obvious attacks fail
- Clear written communication. A finding only counts if the engineer who owns the system understands it and can fix it
