  • Detect and exploit vulnerabilities in embedded systems, bootloaders, MDMs, Android kernel components, secure boot implementations, and cryptographic mechanisms.
  • Develop and execute proof-of-concept attacks to demonstrate exploitability and business impact.
  • Work with product, hardware, and software engineering teams to define secure development practices and strengthen product resilience.
  • Contribute to threat modeling and architecture reviews for new products and features.
  • Keep current with emerging vulnerabilities, tools, and offensive research relevant to smartphone financing ecosystems.

Qualifications

  • Solid knowledge of Android security, Mobile Device Management, IoT device architectures, and hardware security testing.
  • Strong familiarity with hardware exploitation techniques (e.g., JTAG/SWD/UART debugging, side-channel techniques, fault injection).
  • Hands-on experience with Flash 64, Pandora, Easy JTag, Chimera, CM2, and similar tools.
  • Proficiency in reverse engineering tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, and debugging tools like JTAGulator, OpenOCD, or Bus Pirate.
  • Experience reviewing and modifying firmware images (binwalk, Firmadyne, QEMU).
  • Familiarity with secure boot, TPM/TEE, flash encryption, and other embedded security technologies.
  • Programming and scripting capability in Python, C/C++, Bash, or similar languages.
  • Knowledge of common vulnerability classes (e.g., memory corruption, design flaws, insecure update mechanisms).
  • Exposure to payment/fintech device security and secure device provisioning environments.
