At REDLattice, we are a global leader in delivering cutting-edge technical cybersecurity products and services. As we grow and adapt in an increasingly complex digital environment,

We are driven by mission-critical and innovative work that directly contributes to protecting our nation's and strategic partners' most vital infrastructure. Our teams lead advanced vulnerability analysis and develop tailored cyber solutions to meet the demands of rapidly evolving mission space. With offices in Northern Virginia, Melbourne, Florida, Tel Aviv, Israel, and other strategic locations, REDLattice is growing rapidly to meet the evolving needs of our customers.

We are seeking a highly skilled Linux Kernel Developer with strong reverse engineering capabilities to support advanced research, systems development, and threat analysis. This role requires deep knowledge of the Linux operating system internals, low-level programming, and the ability to analyze and deconstruct binaries for vulnerabilities, malware, or undocumented system behavior.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain low-level kernel-mode components, drivers, and subsystems for Linux platforms.
• Perform reverse engineering of Linux binaries (both legitimate and malicious) to understand system behavior, exploits, or undocumented APIs.
• Conduct vulnerability research and proof-of-concept exploit development.
• Analyze crash dumps, root cause bugs, and provide kernel-level debugging and troubleshooting support.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity researchers, analysts, and software engineers to support security-focused development efforts.
• Document findings, architecture, and procedures clearly for internal teams or external clients.

Qualifications:

• Active TS/SCI clearance.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Previous experience in Linux kernel development.
• Proficient in C/C++ for systems-level programming.
• Expertise with reverse engineering tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, x64dbg, and Hex-Rays.
• In-depth understanding of Linux internals (e.g., kernel-mode drivers, memory management, system calls, PE file format).
• Experience with kernel-mode debugging and root cause analysis.
• Familiarity with secure coding practices and low-level exploit mitigation techniques (e.g., PatchGuard, CFG, DEP/ASLR).
• Strong understanding of malware behavior and techniques (if cybersecurity-focused).

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• A collaborative and innovative work culture.

Why Join REDLattice?

• Work on mission-driven technology at the cutting edge of cybersecurity and national defense.
• Join a passionate, elite team of innovators and problem-solvers.
