Job Summary
This position is an onsite role.
Nightwing is looking for interns interested in a career focused on offensive cyber practices as a Vulnerability Researcher. Nightwing's goal is to teach interns offensive cyber practices that they would not encounter in everyday normal curriculum.

Candidates must be able to play both sides of the fence, both developing and defeating new and advanced security techniques. Projects are undertaken in small teams inclose coordination with mentors to maximize growth potential. All our engineers write code, but many of our engineers spend as much time reverse engineering and taking systems apart and building new ones. A typical day can involve studying disassembly or writing Python to audit a piece of C++ code.
Responsibilities to anticipate:

  • Regular documentation on research results
  • Evaluation of research results
  • Modifications to research tools and directions

  • Experience reading or writing assembly (x86, x64, ARM, PPC, MIPS, SPARC, 68k, or others)
  • Understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP stacks, wire-level protocols, RF communications, BGP, routing protocols, or others)
  • Understanding of exploit mitigations such as DEP and ASLR
  • Experience using reverse engineering tools such as IDA Pro, HexRays, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, or objdump
  • Experience using debuggers such as gdb, WinDbg, OllyDbg
  • Experience building and using tools to find, exploit, and productize vulnerabilities in complex software systems
  • Candidates must be professional, self-starters, possess a positive attitude, and work well with engineering and technician teams

Required Qualifications:
  • GPA of 3.0+ in a 4.0 grade scale
  • Experience with C or C++
  • Must be enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree program in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) typically Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related area
  • Please upload a copy of your most recent transcripts with your resume when applying to this requisition. Include your cumulative GPA and projected graduation date on your resume
