DETECTION ENGINEER

Job posting title Detection Engineer Job summary ESET VirusLab watches the steps of hackers from all around the world.
It is a place where we apply reverse engineering techniques to intercepted malware to reveal its hidden functionality.
Even though the primary attacks nowadays are directed against the Windows platform, we pay close attention to other operating systems, including Mac, Linux, Android and some of the more exotic ones.
Job description What does working as Detection Engineer entail? The main focus of the role is reverse engineering.
You’ll analyze newly detected infiltrations and write technical descriptions of the code.
Your primary goal is to figure out what the code does—whether it's malicious or not, and sometimes dive deeper into how it works and its purpose.
This information helps create detection and "cure" algorithms.
You'll also play detective, uncovering the bigger picture behind malicious operations.
Ongoing learning in cybersecurity is key to staying effective in the role.
Where do Detection Engineer work? Infiltration analysts work in the Security Research Laboratory, which we refer to simply as VirusLab.
Some of us work on analyzing malicious code, others track entire malicious operations, looking at how they function.
Other colleagues are involved in detecting malware through signatures, which are hard for malware writers to evade.
Our analysts and engineers have extensive experience with reverse engineering techniques, and analysis and detection of malicious code on a range of operating systems, including Windows, MacOS and mobile platforms.
Our teams comprise experts on online threats, software vulnerabilities and exploits which are used by malware writers to infiltrate and abuse systems.
Technologies used in the job.
As an infiltration analyst, these will be the tools and technologies of your trade.
IDA Pro, Hiew, Far, SysInternals tools, Kibana, Impala, SQL, Yara, Python, Confluence, Git, QEMU, Endpoint Security Framework The advantages You will have an opportunity to learn something new, in a field mastered by only a handful of people.
Are you cut out for the job? A diploma is neither a sufficient nor a necessary precondition to succeed with us.
We think that what really makes a good analyst is the ability to understand code written by someone else.
To be able to do this, we often use assembler, so being well-versed in this regard is a must if you want to join our team.
Given that the hackers have chosen as their area of operations nothing less than the entire globe, it is also useful if you are comfortable using English.
And last but not least, to keep pace with the bad guys you should have a healthy appetite for continuing to learn new things.
Requirements.
basic reverse engineering experience programming experience (any language) analytical thinking basic overview in area of cyber security and drive to learn new things working independently consistency and attention to detail Nice to have experience with reverse engineering/debugging or drive to learn understanding of Linux or macOS internals or at least good knowledge of systems basic understanding of assembler knowledge of computer networking knowledge of any assembly language Employee perks, benefits.
