Uncle Kerckhoffs wants YOU!

You're a hacker from the bottom of your heart? You don't mind moving to Berlin or Zurich? We'd like to have a chat with you!

We're currently looking for talented hackers to extend our teams in Berlin and Zurich/Winterthur.

IT-Security Analyst - Generalist with focus on certain in-depth areas

You already have experience, working as IT Security Consultant or managing product security in soft- and hardware manufacturing companies. In addition to a broad knowledge in general IT-security related areas, you also have the vision to deepen your knowledge on specific topics.

The most important skills that are required are the following:

  • Penetration Testing — you know the tools that assists with all sorts of penetration tests, and you know how to read its resulting output.
  • Threat-Modeling and Risk-Assessments — the skill to prepare your tools and targets in a structured manner.
  • Creativity — the skill to spot that thing, that turns an objective into something broken.
  • Reporting — Explain, write and defend your findings. The skill to push the business-value of your other skills. You must be able to perform proper reporting in English or German language.
  • Passion — your personal security deep-dive: a technology or methodology you're focusing on.

In addition to these must-have skills, the following are nice to have:

  • Reverse Engineering — the art of illuminating the dark corners of binary code & data, communication protocols and hardware-solutions.
  • Source Code Assessments in C, C++, C#, Java, Swift, Objective-C, JavaScript.
  • Cryptography — it's definitely a super-bonus, if your eyebrow raises when you hear people saying the product is secure because of cryptography. You know how to spot and exploit potential side-channels, and how to properly use certain cryptographic algorithms.

Junior Hacker

If you don't have the business experience of a consultant, we may want you to extend our team as a Junior Security Consultant. If you bring the necessary skills, we may close the gaps, supporting you with specializing on certain areas in the IT security industry.

What do you need?

  • Passion — You bring the vision and we'll help you, turning it into a professional service.
  • Creativity — What could possibly go wrong? You have the idea, already.
  • Patience — Breaking the unbreakable stuff. Your tenacity is the door-opener to the wonderful world of destruction.

... and of course, quite some technological background.

  • Black-/White-/Gray-Box Penetration Tests of networks, services and solutions.
  • Review of software and hardware components in source-code and/or binary form.
  • Threat Analysis along with the individual business-model of our clients.
