CYBER CAPABILITIES DEVELOPER

ABOUT THE TEAM

CYBERJARO specializes in discovering, weaponizing, and operationalizing vulnerabilities across a wide range of platforms and architectures. From developing custom exploits and shellcode to bypassing hardened environments and EDR solutions, the team operates at the cutting edge of offensive capability. We work closely with cyber effects operators, C2 developers, and threat researchers to integrate exploits into advanced tradecraft for real-world operations. The team is highly technical, mission-driven, and distributed, with a deep focus on low-level system internals, reverse engineering, and offensive tooling innovation.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a Cyber Capabilities Developer, you’ll research and weaponize vulnerabilities across Windows, Linux, and embedded systems. You’ll develop reliable exploits, custom shellcode, and payloads that support offensive cyber operations and adversary emulation. You’ll also work closely with operators and tool developers to integrate your capabilities into attack campaigns.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Research, identify, and develop exploits targeting vulnerabilities in Windows, Linux, and embedded platforms.
  • Reverse engineer binaries, firmware, and applications to discover novel attack vectors and exploitation techniques.
  • Create custom shellcode, payloads, and evasion mechanisms for use in red team operations and adversary simulations.
  • Collaborate with cyber operators and tooling engineers to integrate developed exploits into offensive operations.
  • Stay current with emerging vulnerabilities, exploit techniques, and defensive countermeasures across the security landscape.
  • Contribute to the development of internal tooling that supports exploit delivery, automation, and testing.
  • Document exploitation workflows, techniques, and outcomes in operational reports and internal knowledge bases.
  • Participate in post-engagement reviews to evaluate the effectiveness and stealth of deployed exploits.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

  • 8+ years experience in CNO and capabilities; or related field
  • B.S. or M.S. Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
  • Highly proficient in low-level languages such as C, C++, and Assembly with a focus on systems-level programming
  • Ability to develop cross-platform code targeting Windows, Linux, and embedded systems
  • Familiarity with reverse engineering tools and scripting APIs (e.g., Ghidra, IDA Pro with IDAPython).
  • Strong scripting skills in Python for automation, exploit scaffolding, and tooling integration
  • Comfort working with raw sockets, syscalls, and OS internals during exploit development
  • Experience writing custom shellcode and manipulating memory layouts for exploitation
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly document technical findings and collaborate across teams
  • Ability to apply critical thinking and creative problem-solving in complex, adversarial, or constrained environments
  • Must currently possess Top Secret SCI clearance
