Security Software Engineer

Senior Systems Security Engineer – Low-Level Software Analysis

Location: South East England / Fully Remote Considered

Check you match the skill requirements for this role, as well as associated experience, then apply with your CV below.

We’re supporting a specialist product engineering team developing advanced software analysis technology for complex compiled environments. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys working close to the software layer, solving difficult technical problems, and building tooling that can turn complex technical signals into reliable product capability.

The role would suit someone with a background in systems programming, software analysis tooling, binary inspection, firmware analysis, or low-level engineering. You’ll be working on technology designed to inspect and understand compiled applications, embedded software, and complex software artefacts where conventional metadata may be limited, incomplete, or difficult to rely on.

This is an engineering-led role centred around low-level software analysis and tooling development, not a malware detection, SOC, threat hunting, compliance, or operational security position.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Developing tooling to inspect compiled software artefacts and extract meaningful technical signals

• Building maintainable parsers, analysis engines, backend services, and automation frameworks

• Working on software composition visibility, dependency discovery, and analysis of complex software artefacts

• Investigating difficult technical problems and turning successful approaches into reliable product features

• Working with low-level debugging techniques, systems concepts, and software analysis workflows

• Collaborating closely with engineering and research teams to shape technical direction and implementation quality

• Contributing to technical standards, engineering best practice, and long-term product capability

Ideal Background

• Strong systems programming experience using Rust, C, or C++

• Experience working on low-level software, systems tooling, binary inspection, firmware analysis, static analysis, or software composition tooling

• Good understanding of compiled software behaviour and systems-level engineering concepts

• Experience developing maintainable, production-quality software

• Strong debugging, analytical thinking, and technical problem-solving skills

• Able to investigate unfamiliar technical problems and turn ideas into practical engineering solutions
