Nice to have (preferred)

  • Experience with RF and/or DSP (radio frequency and digital signal processing).
  • Experience with radio protocol reverse engineering, data science/intelligence analysis, distributed systems, cryptography, GPU programming, UI/UX development.
  • Experience with low-level hardware reverse engineering (can read schematics, tap communications buses, leverage JTAG for introspection on unfamiliar systems, etc.).
  • Proven track record of leveraging agentic engineering to deliver stable, well-designed, maintainable and well-documented solutions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
