Passionate hacker with awesome C/C++ skills

Who we are:
We are a dynamic security company with a product that is unique to say the least. We're not afraid to say that this is the best work environment any of us has ever had, and it's only getting better- we have technical debates over everything from the design of the Intel instruction set to the structure of very high level languages, we have a whole range of disciplines to tackle, from creative data visualization to AI algorithms, we have a Mortal Kombat II machine, drinks, and flexible hours (although we do expect 110% from everyone in the company, top to bottom). What we hold in common is a passion for ideas & a willingness to try things that sound way too hard to the average engineer.

The job:
1/3rd security research (along with the rest of your team) and 2/3rds software design, implementation and testing. You would be working on a small team of security software engineers. A typical day's work might be, investigating a new form of heap overflow directed against a Windows memory allocator, implementing experimental code to detect exploits directed against this bug, getting coffee with your co-workers and talking about your new discoveries while they talk about theirs (and you struggle to get a word in edgewise), and then maintaining some production code your team has assigned you to be responsible for.

Specific skills we need:
We require a thorough knowledge of C and C++, good knowledge of low level OS concepts, at least some knowledge of x86 assembly, and a good knowledge of low level TCP/IP. If you have some but not all of these skills and we like you, you still definitely have a shot.


*APPLICANTS: Please send your resume, answers & questionnaire to Matt.alling@calvingroups.com & Joe.Abrahams@calvingroups.com.
