Key skills for this role
- Renderer-reachable attack surfaces in Chromium, with room to work on WebKit or Firefox where relevant.
- Memory-corruption and logic vulnerabilities in V8, Blink, WebAssembly, DOM bindings, parsers, media, graphics and adjacent C/C++ components.
- Exploitation under modern constraints including pointer compression, heap isolation, control-flow protections and the V8 Sandbox (formerly commonly referred to as the Ubercage).
- Variant analysis, patch diffing and adjacent-code research rather than stopping after a single bug.
- Collaboration with sandbox, platform and kernel researchers when a renderer issue is part of a larger chain.
- Original browser vulnerabilities with a clear root cause and reliable reproduction.
- Working exploit primitives or chain components that survive realistic release-build mitigations.
- Minimised test cases, exploitability analysis, affected-version notes and reproducible research environments.
- Readable exploit code and technical documentation that another senior researcher can pick up and extend.
- Tooling that improves fuzzing, instrumentation, crash triage, variant hunting or exploit-development speed.
- A proven record of delivering browser vulnerabilities or exploit components against modern browser releases.
- Deep practical knowledge of Chromium internals, ideally including both the renderer and V8.
- Strong C/C++ debugging, reverse engineering and source-audit skills.
- Hands-on experience turning use-after-free, type confusion, out-of-bounds access or related bug classes into useful primitives.

- The judgement to distinguish an interesting crash from a chainable, operationally meaningful vulnerability.
- The ability to work independently and finish difficult research without constant direction.
- Browser CVEs, Pwn2Own-level work or comparable real-world exploit delivery.
- Experience with custom browser builds, sanitizers, source instrumentation and targeted fuzzing harnesses.
- Exploit-chain work across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows or Linux.
- Research on JITs, garbage-collected heaps, cross-language ownership.
- A history of raising the technical level of other experienced researchers.
- Fully remote, with high autonomy and direct access to other senior researchers and exploit developers.
- We care about completed, reproducible technical delivery.
