Malware Reverse Engineer

We Are Accenture is a global collective of innovators whose aim is to improve the way the world works and lives. Empowered with innovative tools, continuous learning, and a global community of diverse talent, we drive success in new business architecture that disrupts conventional practices. We are looking to add an experienced Malware Reverse Engineer to an already outstanding team.

Accenture Security helps organizations prepare, protect, detect, respond to, and recover across all points of the security lifecycle. We hire top-tier security talent and equip them with advanced tools and technologies to help clients build resilience through integrated, customized security solutions.

You AreA deeply technical malware analysis professional with expert-level reverse engineering experience across modern operating environments. 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  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.
