  • Build user-mode hooking instrumentation and explore EDR bypass techniques to exercise agent internals
  • Triage, reproduce, and analyze security findings against our agent and libraries

  • Published tooling or research in vulnerability discovery, fuzzing, and/or automated test frameworks
  • Hands-on experience with CI platforms (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) to automate security workflows
