The Work:

As a Vulnerabilities Researcher for Offensive Cyber Operations, your one of a kind mind will jump in to intricacies of systems in order to learn and know the functionality and how it behaves / triggers during breaches. In that sense, you've got to be adept at both creating and undermining novel security techniques, tactics and tools and be able to switch directions quickly (and easily). Projects and efforts like this are usually within small teams and close collaboration with clients. While coding is critical to the job, a large part of your daily role will be dissecting systems instead of building something new. Likely you'll be using Python to scrutinize C++ code.

You'll also need:

Software Development background

Experience with both sides of offense and defense

Interest in Offensive Cyber and/or hacking demonstrated through experience, certifications, or personal projects.

A lot of gumption
