Senior Systems Security Engineer – Low-Level Software Analysis
Location: – South East England
We’re supporting a specialist product engineering team developing advanced security analysis technology for complex software environments. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys working close to the software layer, solving difficult technical problems, and building tooling that can turn complex technical signals into reliable product capability.
The role would suit someone with a strong background in systems programming, reverse engineering, software security tooling, or low-level analysis. You’ll be working on technology designed to inspect and understand compiled applications, firmware, and embedded software environments where conventional metadata may be limited, incomplete, or difficult to rely on.
*This is very much an engineering-led role centred around low-level software analysis and tooling development, rather than broader compliance or operational security functions.
What You’ll Be Working On
• Developing tooling to inspect complex software artefacts and extract meaningful technical signals
• Building maintainable parsers, analysis engines, backend services, and automation frameworks
• Investigating difficult technical problems and turning successful approaches into reliable product features
• Working with low-level debugging techniques, systems concepts, and software analysis workflows
• Collaborating closely with engineering and research teams to shape technical direction and implementation quality
• Contributing to technical standards, engineering best practice, and long-term product capability
Ideal Background
• Strong systems programming experience using Rust, C, or C++
• Experience working on low-level software, systems tooling, reverse engineering, firmware, embedded software, or static analysis
• Good understanding of low-level software and systems behaviour
• Experience developing maintainable, production-quality software
• Strong debugging, analytical thinking, and technical problem-solving skills
• Able to investigate unfamiliar technical problems and turn ideas into practical engineering solutions
Interested?
If you enjoy deep technical engineering, reverse engineering, low-level software analysis, or solving complex security-related problems, I’d be happy to discuss the opportunity in more detail.
