Android Reverse Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Android Reverse Engineer with strong expertise in analyzing Android applications at a code level. This role is not for standard Android developers—we require someone experienced in reverse engineering Kotlin or Java code, ideally to identify malware or other security vulnerabilities within APKs and Android frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Reverse engineer Android applications (APK files) written in Kotlin/Java

• Analyze obfuscated code to identify malware, vulnerabilities, or other logic issues

• Decompile, inspect, and understand source-level behavior using tools like JADX, Ghidra, or IDA

• Conduct static and dynamic analysis of Android apps

• Provide detailed technical reports outlining findings and recommended mitigations

• Collaborate with security teams to enhance malware detection and threat intelligence
  

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in security engineering, especially in mobile app security

• Experience writing malware detection signatures or working on threat intel platforms

• Coding background in Kotlin, Java, Python, or C/C++

• Knowledge of encryption, obfuscation, and sandboxing techniques used in mobile malware

Required Experience

• Proven experience reverse engineering Kotlin and/or Java code—either for malware analysis or debugging complex application behavior

• Hands-on with tools like APKTool, JADX, Frida, Ghidra, Burp Suite, or similar

• Solid understanding of Android internals and the APK structure

• Experience with static and dynamic analysis techniques

• Malware analysis experience specific to Android environments is highly preferred

• Familiarity with smali code is a plus
