Central London, United Kingdom Security Service MI5 Full time
About Us

MI5 is the UK's security service, responsible for protecting the country from serious threats such as terrorism and cyber attacks. We work closely with other agencies to gather and analyze intelligence, and to disrupt threats to national security.

The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Security Researcher to join our Cyber Collections team. As a Security Researcher, you will be responsible for developing capabilities to collect cyber intelligence from computers and devices that are critical to MI5's ability to safeguard the UK.

You will work closely with our team to advance our intelligence investigations and tackle serious threats to national security. You will focus on a particular technology area, working to ensure we can continue our important work, despite any threat. You will also research and develop new cutting-edge techniques to increase our unique capabilities.

Day-to-day, you could be searching for new vulnerabilities within target operating systems and applications, or working up exploits to other vulnerabilities found within the community. You might also be researching novel techniques to avoid detection or helping with the general development of our on-device collection capabilities, or assisting with the onboarding of new capabilities or techniques.

About You

We are looking for someone with a solid background in security research or reverse engineering, and extensive knowledge of a specific operating system's internals. You will also need to be able to work constructively in a team environment, be an adept problem solver, and be comfortable with managing uncertainty and risk.

You will have a sound grasp of networking fundamentals, and be familiar with how computers and devices communicate over the Internet. As a proficient independent programmer, you will be able to work with low-level systems programming languages and higher-level application languages.

Training and Development

We invest in the ongoing learning and development of our security research colleagues, and will provide you with access to a range of internal and external courses that support your ongoing development. We will also encourage you to develop your understanding of technologies outside of those you are immediately working on.

Rewards and Benefits

The starting salary for this role is £48,928. This is a role that qualifies for a specialist capability-based pay approach that recognizes and rewards cyber technical specialist expertise. Therefore, based on our assessment of skills and experience at interview, you may be eligible for additional skills payment, potentially increasing the salary to between £57,362 and £61,732.

Other benefits include 25 days annual leave, opportunities to be recognized through our employee performance scheme, personal learning budget, interest-free season ticket loan, excellent pension scheme, cycle to work scheme, and facilities such as a gym, restaurant, and on-site coffee bars.

Equal Opportunities

At MI5, diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission. We welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are under-represented in our workforce such as women, those from an ethnic minority background, people with disabilities and those from low socio-economic backgrounds.
