As a Senior Reverse Engineer at Beeper (“all your chats in one app”), you’ll be at the forefront of connecting diverse messaging platforms. Your work will directly impact millions of users by enabling seamless communication across previously siloed chat networks. This role offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into the internals of major messaging platforms, uncover their protocols, and build bridges that make cross-platform communication possible.

You’ll join a team of talented engineers working on challenging technical problems that require creativity, persistence, and innovative problem-solving skills. This position offers the chance to work with cutting-edge technology while contributing to the open-source ecosystem and the future of decentralized communication.

Some of your responsibilities will include:

  • Lead reverse engineering efforts of proprietary messaging protocols to create and maintain chat bridges.

  • Document protocol implementations and share findings with the broader team.

  • Develop robust and maintainable bridge solutions that scale.

Responsibilities:

  • Analyze and reverse-engineer messaging applications to understand their internal protocols and APIs.

  • Design and implement bridges that maintain high reliability and performance.

  • Debug complex issues across multiple platforms and protocols.

  • Maintain existing bridges and adapt them to protocol changes.

  • Document findings, methodologies, and implementation details.

  • Collaborate with the team to improve bridge architecture and stability.

  • Monitor and respond to protocol changes in supported platforms.

  • Contribute to the open-source ecosystems for chat bridges, like Matrix.

  • Participate in security reviews and implement security best practices.

  • Share knowledge and mentor other engineers in reverse engineering techniques.

Requirements:

  • Strong experience with reverse engineering mobile applications and network protocols.

  • Deep understanding of network protocols and API design.

  • Solid understanding of cryptography and security principles.

  • Proven track record of solving complex technical challenges.

  • Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Go.

Salary range: $70,000-$170,000 USD.  Please note that salary ranges are global, regardless of location, and we pay in local currency.

We are searching for high-caliber candidates with the skills and qualities to have a net positive for Automattic. Pay will reflect the potential contribution and the impact you can bring, which may, in some cases, go beyond the range stated.

This isn’t your typical work-from-home job—we are a fully-remote company with an open vacation policy. Read more about our compensation philosophy.
