Riverside Overview
Riverside Research is an independent National Security Nonprofit dedicated to research and development in the national interest. We provide high-end technical services, research and development, and proto@type solutions to some of the country's most challenging technical problems.
All Riverside Research opportunities require U.S. Citizenship
Position Overview
Input handling is an unavoidable part of any system implmentation. Often this requires parsing that input to ensure it fits within a buffer, is of the correct @type, and fits to the desired format. Riverside Research's Secure and Resilient Systems group is working to change the way in which we think about parser security. By applying state-of-the-art parsing methodologies, we can create a more secure cyberspace without needing to worry about niche edge-case input vulnerabilities.
Riverside Research is seeking a dynamic and growth focused junior-level research scientist to support research and development of bleeding-edge parser security technologies. As a key member of our Secure and Resilient Systems team, the research scientist will interface with government research organizations (e.g. DARPA, IARPA, service labs, etc.), work on existing R&D contracts, and develop bleeding-edge technologies for transition to the warfighter. The research scientist will interface with team members across Riverside Research locations.
The research scientist will contribute to a diverse team responsible for developing security technologies in a variety of DoD systems. They will get hands-on experience working towards and developing secure parsers in the interest of DoD partners. They will develop software and systems that use new and existing technologies in areas that these technologies may have never been applied to. They will also contribute to technical writing in their research area. The research scientist should hands on experience in C/C++ and Python, as well as a strong understanding of the pitfalls of improper input handling. They should be able to think creatively to express why vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed can be classified as parser vulnerabilities.
Responsibilities
Help the group design innovate parser and data protocol capabiltiies
Assist in utilizing created and existing tools for DoD use cases
Build new tools and/or capabilities in languages like C/C++, Python, etc.
Contribute to whitepapers and/or publish papers that document innovative work performed
