Hack in Hire is recruiting for a client looking to strengthen its advanced threat research capabilities. This role is for an experienced reverse engineer who enjoys dismantling real-world Windows malware campaigns, building practical detection artifacts, and publishing high-quality research that helps defenders stay ahead.
About the roleAs a Senior Malware Reverse Engineer, you'll lead deep technical analysis of sophisticated Windows malware families—especially stealers, ransomware, and trojan bankers. You'll work across proactive research and active investigations, contributing to internal tooling (e.g., configuration extractors) and to public-facing research publications and threat intelligence reporting.
What you'll do
Reverse engineer complex Windows malware using static, dynamic, and in-memory techniques
Track malware families over time, including configuration extraction and C2 communication analysis
Develop and maintain malware configuration extractors (static and memory-based)
Create, tune, and maintain YARA rules for detection and family tracking
Perform low-level code analysis, unpacking, and de-obfuscation of protected binaries
Use and interact with malware sandbox environments for dynamic analysis and triage
Produce high-quality research publications, technical reports, and threat intelligence write-ups
Collaborate with other researchers to follow evolving threat actor techniques and infrastructure
What we're looking for
5–6+ years of professional experience reversing Windows malware
Strong hands‐on experience analyzing stealers, ransomware, and trojan bankers
Proven experience building config extractors via static analysis and in‐memory parsing
Strong working knowledge of IDA Pro (or equivalent tooling)
Solid experience writing and maintaining YARA rules
Experience with (or strong familiarity with) malware sandbox environments
Demonstrated history of published malware research (blogs, whitepapers, conference talks, etc. )
Excellent understanding of Windows internals and common anti‐analysis techniques
Proficiency in Python, C/C++, and Assembly
Ability to work independently from initial triage to deep analysis on complex malware families
Professional working proficiency in English
What's offered
Work on high-impact, real-world malware research
A technically strong team of reverse engineers and threat researchers
Opportunity to publish and gain visibility in the malware research community
Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
