Job Description
What You’ll Do
* Analyze web and mobile applications (APK / IPA) to uncover hidden mechanisms. Disassemble code to understand its inner workings, with a focus on cryptographic functions that secure our systems.
* Evaluate and bypass advanced security protocols such as TLS, HTTP / 2, HTTP / 3, WebSockets, DoH, and session management. Identify vulnerabilities to enhance our data extraction methods.
* Regularly test, disrupt, and improve our tools to stay ahead of ever‐evolving defenses.
Your Profile
* Passionate Code Warrior : You thrive on pushing systems to their limits while upholding the highest ethical standards. Reverse engineering isn’t just a skill—it’s your creative playground. Whether using tools like IDA Pro, Ghidra, or custom solutions, you excel at dissecting binary and web code to uncover core functionalities. You possess deep expertise in protocols such as TLS, HTTP / 2, WebSockets, DoH, and more, leveraging that knowledge to find innovative solutions.
* Advanced Python Developer : Your coding abilities go far beyond basic scripting. We seek a true coder—someone capable of designing and implementing robust, efficient solutions for complex challenges. You work well independently but also thrive in a dynamic team environment that values open communication and continuous learning.
The Challenge
* Technical Questionnaire with the hiring manager (15 minutes):
Answer real‐time technical questions via screen sharing to demonstrate your problem‐solving skills and technical depth.
* Complete Python exercises to showcase your coding prowess—crafting robust, elegant solutions to complex problems.
* Custom CTF (Home Lab):
Participate in a challenge focused on anti‐bot security to demonstrate reverse engineering mastery.
If you’re a dedicated code warrior with a passion for dissecting and rebuilding intricate systems—and you consistently deliver high‐quality, efficient code—send us your resume, GitHub profile, and documentation of your technical achievements (e.g., CTF wins, write‐ups, personal projects). Join Digital Shelf by NIQ and help us reshape the digital frontier.
