Job description

GrammaTech is actively seeking a Software Vulnerability Analyst to join our team in Linthicum, Maryland. The team is composed of intelligent individuals, passionate about binary patch diffing, root-cause vulnerability analysis, and software security validation. The team is growing and looking for someone with a vulnerability analysis and reverse engineering background who has an understanding of how to analyze software patches, verify security fixes, and confirm vulnerability mitigation across target systems. If you are actively using Ghidra, IDA Pro, BinDiff, and dynamic analysis tools, the team wants to talk to you!

What you will do:

  • Evaluate software and firmware patches to perform binary patch diffing and root-cause vulnerability analysis in support of national security research missions.
  • Work under minimal supervision with latitude for independent judgment to confirm patch integrity and ensure security fixes completely address target vulnerabilities.
  • Document detailed analytical findings, validate security fixes, and assist with integrating AI-assisted software verification tools into security analysis workflows.

What you will need (basic qualifications)

  • Demonstrated experience in static and dynamic reverse engineering, binary patch diffing (e.g., BinDiff, Diaphora), and software vulnerability analysis.
  • Hands-on proficiency with disassembly tools (Ghidra, IDA Pro, or Binary Ninja) and software debuggers (GDB, WinDbg).
  • Proven track record performing root-cause analysis on software vulnerabilities and validating patch mitigation effectiveness.
  • Strong programming and scripting skills in C, C++, and Python within Linux environments.

Nice to have (preferred)

  • Experience applying AI/ML models or LLM frameworks to software code analysis, vulnerability discovery, or patch verification.
  • Familiarity with dynamic instrumentation frameworks (Frida, DynamoRIO) or automated fuzzing engines.
  • Knowledge of operating system security mitigations (ASLR, DEP, CFI, Stack Canaries) and common vulnerability patterns (CWEs).

Security Clearance:

  • Active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph required



The anticipated base salary range for this position is $150,000–$215,000 annually. This range reflects the Company's good-faith estimate at the time of posting. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including the scope and level of the role, relevant experience, technical expertise, education, and other job-related qualifications.

GrammaTech offers a comprehensive total rewards package designed to support the health, well-being, and financial security of our employees. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance; short- and long-term disability coverage; life insurance; and a 401(k) retirement plan with company contributions. Employees are also eligible for paid holidays, paid time off (PTO), sick and personal leave, annual merit increases, and performance-based bonus opportunities.
