We are looking for smart people enjoying new challenges.

In view of 35,000 new unique malware samples surfacing every day, automated analysis has become indispensable.

• Basic knowledge of a programming language (e.g. C or Java)
• Good knowledge of one or more scripting languages (e.g. Perl or Python)
• Good command of the English language
• Self-motivation and adaptability in acquiring new skills
