Required qualifications: professional experience as a Detection Engineer, SOC Analyst, or Threat Hunter; proven hands-on experience with static and dynamic malware analysis in sandboxed environments; demonstrated expertise analyzing Windows malware including PE format and common execution/persistence/evasion techniques; experience with reverse engineering tools; solid understanding of binary file attributes and packers; familiarity with the OSI model and Wireshark; working knowledge of Python; and ability to work with confidential, NDA-covered data. Experience analyzing Linux malware and ELF format is a strong advantage.
