TL;DR · Autonomous Penetration Testing Lead Consultant

The Autonomous Penetration testing Lead Consultant joins the Threat & Incident Response Team within the Exposure Management function. This role focuses on modernizing how the enterprise identifies, prioritizes, and mitigates security vulnerabilities by shifting from traditional patching to a strategic focus on business risk and exploitability. The individual will build and operate automated adversarial testing capabilities, design penetration testing pipelines, and integrate these into CI/CD and enterprise workflows. Key responsibilities include automating attack path validation, verifying remediation effectiveness, and improving testing scalability. To succeed, the candidate must possess expertise in red teaming, security engineering, and scripting using Python or PowerShell. Required skills include experience with offensive security tools, API, authentication, and secure software development lifecycles. The role specifically addresses the technical challenge of transforming manual penetration testing into scalable, CTEM-aligned validation within cloud and hybrid environments.

What you'll do

  • Design and build autonomous penetration testing pipelines and custom tooling.
  • Integrate automated adversarial testing into CI/CD and enterprise workflows.
  • Automate attack path validation and exploit verification processes.
  • Partner with Exposure Intelligence and Response teams to validate security risks.
  • Scale and improve the coverage of automated penetration testing activities.
  • Transform traditional manual penetration testing into scalable, CTEM-aligned validation.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 5+ years of experience in penetration testing, red teaming, or security engineering.
  • Must possess strong scripting and development skills using languages such as Python and PowerShell.
  • Must have experience with offensive security tools and methodologies.
  • Experience with automation frameworks and pipeline integration is preferred.
  • Familiarity with attack graphs, CTEM, or exposure validation platforms is preferred.
  • Experience in cloud and hybrid environments is preferred.
  • Proficiency in API, authentication, and secure software development lifecycle is required.
