Malware Reverse Engineer (Android)

Reversec is a specialist security consultancy built on deep technical expertise, research, and real-world security engineering. Our consultants regularly analyse highly obfuscated software, reverse engineer complex applications, develop custom tooling, and contribute to open-source security projects used throughout the industry. Reversec maintains Android security tooling such as Drozer and invests heavily in research-led capability development. We are seeking Android reverse engineers and malware analysts across all experience levels (from those building their skills to seasoned experts) to join a specialist team supporting one of the world's largest technology platforms. As an Android Malware Reverse Engineering Analyst, you will investigate complex and evasive Android applications, identify malicious functionality, conduct detailed reverse engineering, and support automated detection development. You will work as part of a specialist malware analysis team responsible for investigating applications that fall outside standard analysis processes and require advanced technical expertise. This includes malware research, incident investigations, escalation handling, detection engineering, and quality assurance activities. We're recruiting analysts across multiple career stages, from aspiring reverse engineers to experienced malware researchers. Your responsibilities and the expectations placed on you will depend directly on the experience you bring. Experienced analysts will take on complex samples and investigations with a high degree of independence, provide mentorship to junior team members, and assist in developing internal tooling and processes. Analysts earlier in their careers will carry out similar categories of work, with closer support and a remit that grows as their skills develop. Wherever you start, training will be available to bring you up to the standard the team works to. Key Responsibilities All analysts contribute across the areas below. The complexity of the cases assigned to you, the degree of independence expected of you, and any additional oversight and reporting duties will reflect your experience.
