Roles & Responsibilities

  • Experience in vulnerability research, offensive security, and reverse engineering on Apple platforms.
  • Proficiency in Python and Rust for tooling and proof-of-concepts, with debugging skills in C, Swift, C++, or Objective-C.
  • Ability to reverse engineer ARM64 binaries using tools such as IDA, Binary Ninja, and Frida.
  • Strong curiosity and passion for learning, taking things apart, and solving challenging problems.

Requirements:

  • Identify vulnerabilities in Apple platforms using static and dynamic analysis techniques and develop PoCs.
  • Develop tools and PoCs in Python and Rust; leverage VR toolsets (fuzzers, LLMs, reverse-engineering tools) and internal tooling; contribute your own tooling.
  • Present findings in a clear, accessible manner to team members and stakeholders; support training and conference participation.
  • Research Apple platform internals (runtime, platform security features, exploit mitigations); reverse engineer userland components, kernel or system-level software, and related components.

Job description

We are looking for experienced and passionate people who have a background in vulnerability research, offensive security and reverse engineering on Apple platforms.

The role:

  • You'll join our team looking to identify vulnerabilities in Apple platforms using both static and dynamic analysis techniques.

  • You'll develop Proof-of-Concepts for vulnerabilities identified.

  • You'll use common VR toolsets such as fuzzers, LLMs and reverse engineering tools; as well as have access to custom tooling built in-house (along with developing your own!).

  • You'll need to present your findings in a useful and accessible way to others.

  • You'll have access to internal and external training and conferences to refine and hone your skillsets.

The ideal candidate:

  • Developed tools and proof of concepts in a modern programming language such as Python and Rust.

  • Skills in debugging and hacking around with low level or other relevant languages such as C, Swift, C++, Objective C, etc.

  • Ability to reverse engineer ARM64 binaries using common toolsets such as IDA, Binary Ninja and Frida.

  • Interest and a passion in learning new things, taking them apart, and getting stuck into new problems and challenges.

Desirable technical experience:

  • Research on the low-level internals of Apple platforms, including topics such as runtime internals, platform security features and exploit mitigations.

  • Reverse engineering and vulnerability research on userland components on Apple platforms including XPC protocols, private frameworks and userland system daemons.

  • iOS application reverse engineering and bug hunting, looking for weaknesses, logic bugs and memory corruption issues.

  • Kernel or system level software internals and vulnerability research, for example XNU code review or IOKit reverse engineering and exploitation.

Salary:

Packages are competitive and differ according to researcher experience. Full details can be discussed upon an invitation to interview.

Perks and benefits:

  • 25 days annual leave + public holidays

  • Annual bonus based on company targets

  • Minimum of 12% superannuation
