Senior Security Research Engineer - Remote - up to £100k

Senior Security Software Engineer | Vulnerability Research | up to £100K

Do not pass up this chance, apply quickly if your experience and skills match what is in the following description.
We're partnered with a globally recognised technology organisation building advanced cyber capability across highly sensitive environments.
This role sits within a specialist research team and is heavily focused on vulnerability research, binary analysis and low-level security engineering. Despite the title, this is not a typical software engineering role. It is research-led, investigative and deeply technical in nature.
The role
You'll be working on complex security challenges, identifying and analysing vulnerabilities across systems, software and platforms. The work is hands-on, highly technical and centred around research rather than feature delivery.
Key areas include:
Vulnerability research and large-scale discovery
Binary analysis and reverse engineering
Exploit development and proof-of-concept creation
Investigating low-level system behaviour across operating systems and embedded platforms
Contributing to research direction and technical problem-solving within the team
What they're looking for
Strong background in vulnerability research, exploit development or reverse engineering
Experience in Binary Analysis
Deep understanding of low-level systems, software internals or embedded systems
Comfortable working in a research-led, non-product environment
Strong technical curiosity and problem-solving mindset
Why this role
Work on genuinely complex, high-impact security problems
Research-led environment, not a traditional engineering or consultancy setup
Strong alignment to defence and national security use cases
High level of technical ownership and autonomy
Opportunity to work alongside highly specialised researchers
This would suit someone currently in a government or defence research environment who wants to continue deep technical work, but in a more flexible and well-resourced organisation. xwzovoh
