You thrive in high-pressure response scenarios, can move seamlessly between rapid triage and deep technical deconstruction, and bring the credibility to challenge assumptions with code-level evidence. You are recognized for technical rigor, sound judgment, and the ability to elevate the quality of work across the broader analysis team. The Work This role is an opportunity to serve as a senior technical lead within Accenture’s malware analysis and operational intelligence capability. You will reverse engineer complex malware, unpacking sophisticated samples to uncover behavior, infrastructure, and adversary tradecraft. You will also translate malware findings into actionable detections, support incident response during critical events, and provide technical quality control over analytical products before dissemination. In this role, you will:
Conduct advanced static and dynamic analysis of malware across Windows and Linux environments
Reverse engineer complex and obfuscated binaries, including packed or anti-analysis-protected samples
Reproduce and validate publicly disclosed vulnerabilities that are being operationalized by real-world threat actors
Extract configuration data, artifacts, communications patterns, and command-and-control (C2) logic from malware
Map adversary infrastructure and identify overlap across campaigns, malware families, and operators
Translate reverse engineering findings into high-fidelity detection logic for security operations use cases
Serve as a senior technical reviewer for malware analysis outputs, ensuring technical rigor prior to dissemination
Support critical incident and ransomware response by distinguishing rapid response requirements from deeper forensic analysis
Provide technical mentorship to senior analysts and help raise the engineering depth of the broader team
Deliver concise, risk-based communications to leadership audiences when technical findings must be escalated quickly Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements. Here's what you need
Minimum 10 years of professional experience in malware reverse engineering, exploit analysis, vulnerability research, or closely related cyber technical analysis roles
