ScaryByte Is Looking for SIGINT Engineers and Wireless Technology Researchers

ScaryByte Lab is expanding its research and engineering capability and is looking for talented people with experience or a strong technical interest in signals intelligence, radio-frequency systems, wireless communications and software-defined radio.

We are looking for practical engineers, researchers and builders who can help design, prototype, test and document advanced signal-processing and wireless-analysis technologies for lawful, authorised and defensive applications.

Relevant skills may include:

Software-defined radio using HackRF, USRP, BladeRF, LimeSDR or RTL-SDR

GNU Radio, SDR frameworks and custom signal-processing pipelines

RF engineering, spectrum analysis and antenna systems

Digital signal processing and modulation analysis

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, Zigbee, RFID, NFC and cellular technologies

Direction finding, geolocation and signal-strength analysis

Protocol analysis and wireless traffic interpretation

Embedded systems using Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP32 and STM32

Python, C, C++, Rust, MATLAB or similar engineering languages

Linux, networking and low-level systems development

RF test equipment, oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and signal generators

Hardware integration, ruggedised deployments and field-ready prototypes

Technical drawings, engineering blueprints and test documentation

We are interested in experienced professionals, graduates, university researchers, radio enthusiasts, electronics builders and self-taught specialists who can demonstrate genuine practical ability.

You do not need to know every technology listed. You must, however, be curious, disciplined, security-conscious and capable of turning research into working, documented and repeatable results.

Successful candidates may contribute to:

Signal collection and analysis platforms

Wireless monitoring and spectrum-awareness tools

RF detection and direction-finding systems

Secure communications research

Protocol-decoding and signal-classification tools

Portable and embedded SIGINT prototypes

Data processing, visualisation and analytical platforms

Integration with ScaryByte’s cyber-intelligence technologies

Technical blueprints, operating procedures and validation reports

All research and development activities will be performed under strict legal, ethical, safety, privacy and information-security controls. Candidates must demonstrate integrity, discretion and respect for lawful authorisation.

Show us what you have built, researched or tested. Share your GitHub repositories, SDR projects, RF experiments, antenna designs, embedded prototypes, technical reports, academic work or other evidence of practical ability.

Do not only tell us that you understand signals. Show us that you can engineer with them.

Join ScaryByte and help build the next generation of South African signal-intelligence and wireless-security technology.

Whoever is responsible for managing TV licence collections needs to urgently review the way citizens’ personal and payment information is being handled.

Using international payment gateways or third-party platforms to collect sensitive information from South Africans creates serious questions about data sovereignty, privacy, security, regulatory compliance and accountability. An inconvenient collection process is already problematic; a process that may expose citizens to unnecessary data-protection risks is unacceptable.

This has become a critical public-interest matter. Any vendors appointed to manage collections, payments or personal information must comply with POPIA, follow recognised industry security standards, apply proper governance controls and clearly disclose where citizens’ data is processed, stored and shared.

South Africans should not be forced to compromise their personal information simply to pay a TV licence. Convenience cannot come at the expense of security, privacy and public trust.

Johannesburg security guard gifted BMW after viral humiliation

A Johannesburg-area security guard who was publicly mocked by customers and told he would never own a BMW has been gifted one of his own, in a striking turnaround that has captured national attention.

Teboho Kabayi, 27, works at the BMW dealership in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni. In mid-July 2026, a video circulated widely showing him being verbally abused by two men in a BMW while he carried out routine access-control duties. After asking which department they were visiting and requesting to scan a driver's licence, one of the men repeatedly called himself a millionaire, labelled Kabayi "cheap," and declared that the guard would never own or drive a BMW no matter how hard he worked.

Kabayi remained calm and professional throughout the confrontation. The clip sparked widespread outrage online. Motorists from the Glen On Cars group visited the dealership soon afterwards and handed him roughly R31,900 in donations. Kabayi, who has said he wants to open a bakery, indicated he planned to put the money towards that dream and also donate some to charity. He publicly forgave the men involved.

On 29–30 July, cybersecurity and integrated security firm ScaryByte surprised Kabayi with a BMW 1 Series and a further R30,000 cheque (intended partly for the car's upkeep and his bakery plans). The company shared handover photos on social media with the caption: "Someone said he won't be able to afford a BMW! He totally owns one!"

Kabayi described himself as overwhelmed. "I am cruising nicely," he said after receiving the car. "I am so happy. God works in mysterious ways. I wish you could feel how comfortable this car is inside."

ScaryByte said it was moved by the disrespect shown to a security officer simply doing his job and wanted to affirm that dignity is not determined by wealth or the car someone drives. The gesture has drawn fresh praise across social media as a powerful response to the original insults.
