• Experience with reverse engineering of x86/x64 binaries
• Experience in malware analysis (statically and dynamically)
• Understanding of Linux and Containers threat landscape (including but not limited to frameworks, MITRE IaaS)
• Proficient in Linux OS architecture and internals  - understanding how core system components (Processes and Threads, Virtual Memory and more) work behind the scenes.
• Experience with Python or Lua or other languages for scripting
• Solid familiarity and understanding of C++
• An advantage would be:
• understanding of existing Anti-Virus/Endpoint Protection SW internals
• experience with eBPF (you may learn more about eBPF and how we use it at S1 here)
• experience with Cloud Workloads (EKS, ECS, Fargate, etc.')
• experience working on a production-grade product with a wide scale deployment
