Software composition analysis (SCA): analyse source code to find vulnerable dependencies, create proof of concept attacks.
Code driven application exploration: perform dynamic security testing on applications (APIs, WebApps) relying on source code to find vulnerabilities.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Find vulnerabilities right into the code.
…
While this role will focus on this topic, you will also work on various R&D thematics for our platform, including:
💻 Development
Research, prototype and develop offensive security tools focused on penetration testing, vulnerability discovery and attack surface / discovery.
Contribute to other areas of the Escape platform (backend, APIs, …).
🔬 Research & Proof of Concepts
Dive into emerging cybersecurity trends, conduct in-depth research, and develop proof-of-concept tools to advance our platform.
Focus on key areas such as:
Source code analysis
AI-driven penetration testing
