* Learn and apply methodologies in reverse engineering and IR with mentorship from senior team members
* Document your findings and contribute to our internal knowledge base and intelligence reports
What You Bring:

* Experience with EDR/XDR platforms and log/event analysis
* Familiarity with cloud and hybrid infrastructures
* Basic experience in malware research and scripting (Python/PowerShell)
* Exposure to GitHub and version control tools
* Understanding of detection rules and tools like YARA/Sigma (hands-on experience is a plus)
