Contribute to benchmark development for advanced AI security capabilities.
Strong understanding of exploit development, reverse engineering, binary analysis, vulnerability research, operating systems, networks, web security, or cryptography.

Ideal Qualifications

Professional experience in offensive security, application security, vulnerability research, product security, or security engineering.
Experience with reverse engineering tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, or Radare2.
Familiarity with fuzzing, symbolic execution, static analysis, or dynamic analysis frameworks.
Experience with Linux internals, Windows internals, browser security, cloud security, embedded security, or mobile security.
Strong programming skills in C/C++, Rust, Python, Go, or Java.
