Grimm is an innovative, forward-looking cybersecurity organization focused on solving complex technical challenges across hardware, firmware, and software systems. Our teams specialize in reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and security engineering, supporting mission-critical efforts across national security, defense, and critical infrastructure sectors.
Our work is rooted in real-world operational experience identifying advanced threats, uncovering critical vulnerabilities, and developing meaningful solutions to complex problems. Grimm engineers operate across embedded systems, vehicles, IoT, and enterprise technologies, with a focus on understanding systems deeply and demonstrating real-world impact.
We are a highly technical and hands-on organization. Our engineers and researchers specialize in breaking systems, discovering vulnerabilities, and improving resilience—working directly with real hardware and software to understand how systems function and how they fail.
Grimm is seeking a mission-oriented Junior to Mid-Level Software Engineer with Computer Network Operations (CNO) knowledge or experience who is driven to solve challenging technical problems and build robust software systems.
This role supports a fully remote, small, and highly collaborative engineering team focused on end-to-end software development, tooling, and capability engineering supporting mission-driven customer requirements.
In this role, you'll have the opportunity to work with both modern and low-level technologies, including learning and developing with Rust while leveraging more traditional systems programming tooling and APIs. You'll contribute across the full software development lifecycle—from design and implementation to testing, debugging, documentation, and operational support.
We're looking for individuals who are curious, self-motivated, technically capable, and excited to work alongside experienced engineers and researchers solving difficult mission-focused engineering problems.
Grimm offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, retirement benefits, paid leave, and opportunities for tuition assistance and ongoing professional development.
You'll be working alongside highly specialized engineers and researchers tackling challenging problems in software engineering, offensive cyber capability development, and mission-focused systems engineering. Our work directly supports national security missions and requires strong technical ownership, creativity, and collaboration.
If you enjoy solving difficult technical problems, learning new technologies, building software from the ground up, and growing your skills alongside experienced engineers, you'll find this environment both challenging and rewarding.
