- Knowledge of operating system internals for Windows, Android & Linux

- Understanding of operating system fundamentals (processes, threads, virtual memory)

- Ability to read x86/x64 assembly language

- Experience with debuggers such as WinDbg, x64dbg, OllyDbg, or gdb

- Experience with disassemblers such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, or radare2

- Understanding of three or more of C++, C#, Java, or .NET CIL

- Knowledge of cryptography and obfuscation techniques

The ideal candidate will also have:

- A Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or Information Security
