Lexington, United States Riverside Research Institute Full time

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 prototype solutions to some of the country’s most challenging technical problems. All Riverside Research opportunities require U.S. Citizenship. Position Overview:
For better or worse, there is almost no facet of our modern world that works without a computer system. Virtually all of those computer systems rely on “systems software” to manage distinct tasks and bridge the gap between hardware and higher-level software. Whether it is an embedded system using tightly-coupled FPGA fabric to offload performance
- or security-critical tasks or a server using a hypervisor to manage co-resident guests, there is low-level code making sure that higher-level code can see a sane and well-ordered world. That lower-level code is full of complexity as it works to bridge the gap from the realities of diverse hardware ISAs to higher-level abstractions. It is also foundational to the security story of all of our systems. At Riverside Research, the Secure and Resilient Systems group works to strengthen that code to provide our customers with secure foundations for their mission-critical software stacks. This is essential to getting ahead of the attacker rather than playing whack-a-mole with bug fixes. Sometimes, computers can help us to analyze and implement protections on these software layers in the form of program analysis and compiler-based security mechanisms.

Riverside Research is seeking a junior or mid-career research scientist to support research and development of cutting-edge compiler and program analysis security technologies. As a key member of our Secure and Resilient Systems team, the research scientist will prototype new features in open-source compilers such as LLVM and program analysis tools and frameworks such as angr or others. Strong fundamentals in software development practices for large projects (version control, debugging techniques, etc), an understanding of the system software stack and the software/hardware interface, and a strong background in computer science fundamentals (e.g., algorithms, data structures, program languages) will be critical for efficiently designing and prototyping dramatic features that advance the state of the art in compilers and program analysis.

The research scientist will contribute to a diverse team responsible for developing compiler technologies and program analyses that increase the security of system software like Linux or Xen. They will be expected to prototype and push both code and accompanying documentation/design documents. Additionally, they will engage in the research process by assisting the team to design solutions to new challenges, break problems into subtasks, implement features, and evaluate the resulting prototypes. The research scientist should have the writing skills necessary to communicate their ideas and results to internal and external stakeholders.

**Responsibilities**:

- Help the group design innovative solutions to customer problems related to systems software
- Prototype and evaluate features within large software projects like LLVM or angr
- Build new tools and/or capabilities in a range of relevant programming languages
- Contribute to whitepapers and/or published papers that document innovative work preformed
- Document and communicate design decisions, technical challenges, and progress to technical program management
- Collaborate with team members on debugging programs, pair programming, reviewing papers/proposals, etc.
- Participate in relevant internal and customer meetings

Qualifications:
**Required**:

- Bachelor's degree, preferred in related technical field, such as computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or cybersecurity and 2 years experience
- Strong software development fundamentals for working inside a large project (e.g., submitting PRs, interacting with open-source communities and mailing lists, git branches/merges/rebasing, build systems, etc)
- Must be eligible to obtain a Top Secret security clearance.
- Communication and creative skills to develop, prototype, benchmark, and document significant security features integrated into existing systems security technologies
- Fluency in various programming languages, and strong background in programing languages, algorithms, and data structures fundamentals

**Desired**:

- MS or PhD degree in Computer Science or related field
- Strong grasp on the research process (e.g., reading & writing academic papers, ideation for inventing solutions to hard problems)
- Healthy balance between technical orientation and business acumen
- Ability to operate independently with limited supervision and feedback, and establish a solid working relationship with peers in the group and across Riverside Research
- Self-starter and ability to manage t
