What Makes You a Great Fit

• 10+ years of deep experience in Windows Internals, low-level programming, and binary analysis.
• Advanced C/C++ and x86/x64 Assembly for both reverse-engineering and higher-level desktop product development/rebranding.
• Expertise with standard tooling: IDA Pro / Ghidra, x64dbg / WinDbg.
• Hands-on, deep understanding of hooking and injection techniques: API / inline hooking (Detours-style), IAT/EAT hooking, DLL injection (reflective, manual mapping), and process injection (CreateRemoteThread, APC queue, thread hijacking, process hollowing).
• Solid knowledge of Win32 / NT API internals, memory management, and code execution flow under Windows.
• A "Hacker at Core" mindset: Ability to look at automatic flagging, anti-virus blocks, or negative signals without being intimidated, and creatively find ways around them.
• Comfortable with Open Research & Investigative tasks: Proven track record of working without a blueprint or source code, where you need to invent or reinvent solutions from scratch.
• Strong self-reliance and documentation skills to drive your own milestones and report findings so a teammate can re-walk them from your notes.
  
  

Your Day-to-day In This Position

• You will reverse-engineer proprietary, third-party Windows products to recover undocumented behavior, derive interop specifications, and produce reference reproductions of how complex commercial software actually works under the hood.
• The work is investigative: no source code is available.
• Most days end with a refined hypothesis rather than a finished feature.
• We expect you to drive your own research, set your own milestones, and report findings a teammate could re-walk from your notes alone.
• Analyze and bypass security and anti-virus mechanisms: Deep-dive into Windows Defender, browser protections, and EDR signals to ensure a clean, unblocked installation flow for our software ecosystem.
• Handle end-to-end product engineering: Transition seamlessly from low-level research to higher-level development tasks, including taking existing products, rebranding, and fully preparing them for global distribution.
• Invent creative workarounds: Face automated flagging and negative SEO head-on, coming up with unorthodox, custom solutions where no blueprint or standard documentation exists.
  
  

Why work with us?:

• People-first management with minimal bureaucracy
• A friendly company culture, proven by employees who choose to return
• Flexible working hours
• Full financial and legal support for independent contractors
• Free English classes, with native speakers or Ukrainian teachers
• Dedicated HR support
