We are searching for individuals to join our 3 month Vulnerability Researcher Development Programme (VRDP), where you can develop your skills alongside some of the most experienced researchers in the industry. On successful completion of the programme, you’ll join our team as a Vulnerability Researcher, continuing to grow your skills while working on exciting research projects.
There are no prerequisite qualifications, as we’ll provide the training and resources you need to start your journey. You might have a degree in STEM, Computer Science or something completely different, or you may have developed your interest in security elsewhere.
Regardless of previous experience, we are looking for keen problem solvers who are interested in cyber security and motivated to learn – if that sounds like you then please get in touch!
The structure:
- 12 weeks training to develop core skills in reverse engineering and vulnerability research.
- Additional training to begin further skills development, which will allow you to contribute to real-world vulnerability research projects, in areas such as modern Android and iOS platforms, bespoke and nuanced embedded systems, as well as hypervisors, automotive, malware and browser based targets.
- Finally, Interrupt Labs will then provide projects for up to 4 months under senior guidance to support your continued development as an Associate Vulnerability Researcher.
You’ll also be assigned a mentor who will provide additional support throughout. The training programme will take place at our Basingstoke office. A relocation package of up to £1000 will be available to those selected.
Skills & Qualities
Regardless of knowledge and experience, we encourage all applicants who are passionate about security, motivated to learn and eager to start an exciting career in security research. The training assumes a certain level of knowledge about computer security, but we encourage applicants with little or no experience in computer science or security to apply too. A resource and training pack will be provided to successful applicants before the programme starts to ensure everyone has the prerequisite information they need. All applicants must be eligible for a minimum of SC UK Government security clearance.
