The Darkstar Group
Network Device CNO Developer (TS/SCI + Poly)
The Darkstar Group, Baltimore, Maryland, United States,
Description
The DarkStar Group is seeking a Network Device CNO Developer with a TS/SCI + Poly clearance (applicable to this customer) to join one of our top projects in Ft. Meade, MD. Below is an overview of the project, as well as information on our company.
THE PROJECT
The DarkStar Group's team conducts R&D and prototyping of new CNO capabilities for our customer. The work involves Vulnerability Research, Exploit Development, CNO tool development and enhancement, and infrastructure support (DevOps) for access operations. Platforms involved include iOS, Android, MacOS, Linux, Windows, and other environments. This is some of the most impactful work in the Intelligence Community, with the new capabilities developed by this team getting rapidly deployed and into the hands of users. There is almost no distinction here between blue-badgers and green-badgers: the team is highly-competent, and the Branch and Section Leads do an excellent job of shielding the engineers from any organizational politics. This team regularly needs Vulnerability Researchers, Exploit Developers, CNO Tool Developers, Reverse Engineers, and other types of technologists.
Work on this program takes place in various locations at and around the Ft. Meade, MD area (we cannot support remote work) and requires a TS/SCI + Polygraph clearance (acceptable to this customer).
Required Skills
Strong proficiency in C programming
Experience doing reverse engineering on diverse architectures
3+ years of experience doing CNO Development on Network Devices
Candidates should have one or more of the following:
In-depth understanding of network protocols
Experience with network device appliances (routers, switches, firewalls)
