What are Senior Reverse Engineers?

Senior Reverse Engineers are experienced professionals who analyze software, hardware, or systems to understand their design, functionality, and vulnerabilities. They often work to deconstruct compiled code or firmware to identify security flaws, ensure software compliance, or aid in malware analysis. Their expertise is crucial in cybersecurity, forensics, and software interoperability, as they help organizations protect against threats and improve system resilience. Senior Reverse Engineers typically have advanced knowledge of programming languages, debugging tools, and operating systems. They may also lead teams, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to strategic security initiatives.

What is the difference between Senior Reverse Engineer vs Malware Analyst?

Work EnvironmentSecurity firms, tech companies, government agenciesSecurity firms, government agencies, incident response teams
Industry UsageAnalyzing complex software, debugging, reverse engineering binariesDetecting, analyzing, and mitigating malware threats
Comparison FocusDeep reverse engineering skills, software analysisMalware detection and threat analysis

While both roles require cybersecurity expertise and reverse engineering skills, Senior Reverse Engineers focus on analyzing software at a code level, often working on complex binaries and software vulnerabilities. Malware Analysts specialize in identifying and understanding malicious code to mitigate threats. Both roles are vital in cybersecurity but differ in their primary focus and daily tasks.

What are some common challenges faced by Senior Reverse Engineers when analyzing complex software?

Senior Reverse Engineers often encounter challenges such as heavily obfuscated or packed binaries, lack of documentation, and anti-reverse engineering techniques implemented by developers. These obstacles require deep knowledge of assembly language, debugging tools, and creative problem-solving skills. Collaboration with other security professionals, such as malware analysts or incident responders, is also common to share insights and overcome particularly difficult cases. Staying up-to-date with evolving software protection methods is essential for continued success in this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Senior Reverse Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior Reverse Engineer, you need deep expertise in software analysis, assembly language, malware analysis, and computer architecture, often supported by a degree in computer science or related fields. Proficiency with tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, OllyDbg, and experience with debuggers and disassemblers are typically required. Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving abilities are crucial soft skills that set top performers apart. These skills and tools are vital for dissecting complex software, identifying vulnerabilities, and developing effective security solutions.

Job description

dv01 is lifting the curtain on the largest financial market in the world: structured finance. The $16+ trillion market is the backbone of everyday activities that empower financial freedom, from consolidating credit card debt and refinancing student loans, to buying a home and starting a small business.
dv01's data analytics platform brings unparalleled transparency into investment performance and risk for lenders and Wall Street investors in structured products. As a data-first company, we wrangle critical loan data and build modern analytical tools that enable strategic decision-making for responsible lending. In a nutshell, we're helping prevent a repeat of the 2008 global financial crisis by offering the data and tools required to make smarter data-driven decisions resulting in a safer world for all of us.
More than 400 of the largest financial institutions use dv01 for our coverage of over 75 million loans spanning mortgages, personal loans, auto, buy-now-pay-later programs, small business, and student loans. dv01 continues to expand coverage of new markets, adding loans monthly, and developing new technologies for the structured products universe.
A Senior Reverse Engineer marries quantitative skills with a deep understanding of ABS, RMBS, Private Credit, Structured Finance, and Mortgage markets to ensure that users, across all of the asset classes dv01 serves, receive accurate deal data and cashflows.
The Senior Reverse Engineer reports to the Securitizations Manager. Because securitization cashflows are dependent on loan level data and impact various products, Reverse Engineers partner closely with our Integration, QA and Data Engineering teams in ensuring valid cashflow projections. The role offers cross-functional exposure across our business, consequently providing you with great exposure to the different areas in which you may want to develop your career, as you grow with us.
You will:
  • Reverse engineer structure finance transactions. You will set up deal waterfalls for Consumer Unsecured, Mortgages, Student Loans, Private Credit and other asset classes based on the Offering Memorandum and supporting documents. You will be a critical piece in dv01's cashflow efforts across the structured finance space.
  • Expand your structured finance knowledge. You will gain exposure to many facets of the ABS and RMBS spaces, combining information from a variety of sources (cashflow tieout packages, deal documents, trustee reports, etc.) that all flow into dv01's wide range of client offerings.
  • Enhance your technical skills. You will work closely with engineering teams at dv01 to develop and productize solutions both for our customers and internally. You will drive processes to improve data quality through a variety of technologies.

You are:
  • Proficient in cashflow modeling of complex deal structures with a focus on Private Credit transactions. You have 4+ years experience working in structured finance reverse engineering. An expert in interpreting complex deal documentation and extracting relevant data and concepts. Highly effective at collaborating with quantitative analysts, QA teams, and data engineers to ensure the seamless onboarding and ongoing maintenance of securitized deals.
  • An analytical problem solver. You are proficient in Excel. You have solid quantitative skills and are competent at modeling deal waterfalls. You either know or are eager to learn Python/SQL to perform ad-hoc data analysis, with a desire and ability to grow quickly on the technical front.
  • Able to analyze financial statements. You are able to identify key metrics and transactional details on cashflow statements, investor reports, securitization trustee reports and are not afraid to get your hands dirty by diving into loan-level data.
  • A focused, detail-oriented, multi-tasker. You love the intricate details of a thorough analysis, but also stay aware of the bigger picture while operating across multiple threads of work. You're able to communicate your findings and opinions internally, as well as with clients.

BENEFITS & PERKS:
  • Unlimited PTO. Unplug and rejuvenate, however you want-whether that's vacationing on the beach or at home on a mental-health day.
  • $1,000 Learning & Development Fund. No matter where you are in your career, always invest in your future. We encourage you to attend conferences, take classes, and lead workshops. We also host hackathons, brunch & learns, and other employee-led learning opportunities.
  • Remote-First Environment. People thrive in a flexible and supportive environment that best invigorates them. You can work from your home, cafe, or hotel. You decide.
  • Health Care and Financial Planning. We offer a comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance package for you and your family. We also offer a 401(k) for you to contribute.
  • Stay active your way! Get $138/month to put toward your favorite gym or fitness membership - wherever you like to work out. Prefer to exercise at home? You can also use up to $1,650 per year through our Fitness Fund to purchase workout equipment, gear, or other wellness essentials.
  • New Family Bonding. Primary caregivers can take 16 weeks off 100% paid leave, while secondary caregivers can take 4 weeks. Returning to work after bringing home a new child isn't easy, which is why we're flexible and empathetic to the needs of new parents.

In good faith, our salary range for this role is $130,000 - $140,000 but are not tied to it. Final offer amount will be at the company's sole discretion and determined by multiple factors, including years and depth of experience, expertise, and other business considerations. Our community is fueled by diverse people who welcome differing points of view and the opportunity to learn from each other. Our team is passionate about building a product people love and a culture where everyone can innovate and thrive.
dv01 is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants and employees will receive consideration for employment opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, national origin or ancestry, citizenship, veteran status, membership in the uniformed services, disability, genetic information or any other basis protected by applicable law.
