JOB DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------
Position:       Security Researcher
Location:       Los Angeles, California, United States
Type:           Permanent F/T

Closing Date:   2008-12-07

Maybe you're a software veteran with years of experience under your belt…

Maybe you're a high school dropout who ditched class to read computer books and write exploits…

Do you see yourself moving up in the engineering track, not the management track?

We are looking for Security Researchers to join Rapid7’s expanding Product Development team and create network-based checks to detect vulnerabilities in Operating Systems, network services, network applications, web-applications and databases.  You will develop new ideas on exploiting remote systems and recognizing new ways to identify vulnerabilities in custom applications.  

Requirements:
• Understanding of networking protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, FTP)
• Demonstrate programming skills in C, C++, Java including OOP/OOD
• Knowledge of analysis tools (TCPDump, NMAP, Metasploit, IDA, Wireshark)
• Understand how to test code against various inputs
Responsibilities:
• Monitor sources of information about vulnerabilities and implement checks into the product quickly
• Stay current with new web application technologies, understand new risks of these technologies and how to check for them
• Produce quality detection (checks and methodologies) with a low false positive rate

Rapid7 is making waves in the security industry and developing Unified Vulnerability Management Software called NeXpose.  NeXpose is an expert system that Fortune 500 and reputable institutions (i.e. Carnegie Mellon, Dillard’s, Revlon, Coach) use to scan web applications, databases, operating systems and all layers of the network.  

Winner of SC Magazine Award "Best-Buy" for 2007 and “Vulnerability Management Finalist” for 2008
