Posted 9 days ago

Job description

M9 Solutions is seeking a Senior Vulnerability Researcher - Windows / CNE to work on-site in support of a government contract for a client located in Arlington, VA. An active TS/SCI clearance is required.

Responsibilities

  • Lead advanced vulnerability research on Windows operating systems, applications, and core OS components (including kernel and drivers).
  • Analyze, reverse engineer, and understand complex vulnerabilities to support CNE/CNO missions.
  • Use tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, and WinDbg/x64dbg for indepth binary analysis and debugging, including creating or extending custom tooling when needed.
  • Own endtoend research on difficult, poorly documented Windows targets with minimal guidance, from scoping and experimentation through proofofconcept.
  • Develop and document technical approaches, findings, and PoCs to validate vulnerabilities and exploitation paths.
  • Continuously explore and prototype novel techniques for vulnerability discovery and exploitation on modern, mitigated Windows platforms.
  • Collaborate with mission and engineering teams to translate research into operational capabilities.
  • Act as the senior technical point of contact and subjectmatter expert for Windows vulnerability, exploitation, and OSinternals questions.

Required Skills and Qualifications

  • Active TS/SCI clearance.
  • 3+ years in vulnerability research, exploit development, or CNEfocused reverse engineering, with a sustained focus on Windows (user and kernel mode) rather than general app security or pentesting.
  • Deep, practical understanding of Windows internals (kernel architecture, drivers, memory management, system calls, process/thread models, and security mechanisms).
  • Strong CNE/CNO background; experience leveraging vulnerabilities in support of realworld operations or mission environments.
  • Demonstrated track record solving very hard, lowlevel technical problems with minimal guidance, including on research efforts where many others have struggled to make progress.
  • Demonstrated experience discovering and exploiting nontrivial vulnerabilities in modern, mitigated Windows environments (e.g., ASLR, DEP, CFG, virtualizationbased security).
  • Handson experience with reverse engineering and debugging tools (IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, WinDbg, x64dbg, etc.).
  • Fluency in x86/x64 assembly and strong C/C++ skills, plus scripting experience (e.g., Python) for automation, tooling, and PoCs.
  • Strong analytical mindset and ability to clearly communicate complex technical findings to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
