=> About Texplained: The Source of Ground Truth

At Texplained, we don’t just work in cybersecurity; we operate at the very foundation of the digital world: the Silicon. We are a "Niche Powerhouse" and a global leader in Integrated Circuit (IC) Reverse Engineering.

Our mission is to make hardware as transparent as possible for rigorous security evaluations and to enable secret data extraction for Governments, Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), and global Tech Giants. We provide the "ground truth" where technology meets sovereignty.

Joining us means navigating a unique ecosystem where deep-tech expertise meets global geopolitics. Whether you are a Business Developer, a cybersecurity software developer or a Hardware Hacker, you will be part of a team that:

• Enables High-Level Forensics: Extracting secret data from encrypted devices (smartphones, crypto-wallets) for national security and criminal investigations.
• Guarantees Hardware Trust: Providing full transparency for security audits, ensuring that mission-critical chips are free from backdoors or vulnerabilities.
• Secures Global Supply Chains: Managing IC obsolescence and fighting counterfeit hardware for the Aerospace and Defense sectors.

We are looking for "Hackers"—curious, rigorous, and ambitious minds who thrive on complexity. Whether you are here to scale our international business, develop our internal tools, or analyze the latest secure elements, you will have a direct impact on global hardware transparency.

=> Your Mission: From Immersion to Market Impact

We are looking for a talent who is thrived by technology and possesses the humility required to master a highly complex, expert-led industry. Your role is designed to evolve dynamically:

• Phase 1: Deep Immersion (Learning the Silicon). You will start by diving into our world. You will learn what our lab does, understand the challenges of our sovereign and industrial clients, and assist the CEO in identifying identify the next generation of customers. You will be a "student" of our niche industry.
• Phase 2: Market Expansion (Contacting the Future). Once you have mastered our value proposition, you will move into action. You will identify new strategic targets (Governmental organisations, LEAs, Chipmakers, OEMs, Evaluation Labs) across the globe and initiate the first contact. You will be the bridge between our technical excellence and new international partners.
• Phase 3: Ownership & CDI. Based on your motivation, implication, and results, your perimeter will expand. Our goal is to train you to become a permanent member of our team: this contract is specifically intended to lead to a Permanent Position (CDI).

=> Are you the "Decoder" we’re looking for?

• Tech-Thrived: You are genuinely fascinated by deep tech. You want to understand how a chip is built as much as how a market is conquered.
• Humble & Proactive: You know that expertise takes time to acquire. You are ready to start with the fundamentals, but you are also "hungry" to prove your value through results.
• Strategic Education: You are a student at a top-tier Business School or University (Strategy / International Business).
• International Mindset: English is your primary working language (We manage high-stakes relationships with a diverse portfolio of international clients, spanning from the Silicon Valley tech giants to the strategic hubs of Asia).
• Result-Oriented: You are motivated by the challenge of opening new doors in a high-security, high-value market.
