TL;DR · Senior Offensive Security Engineer

Senior Offensive Security Engineer joins the Red Team to identify and reduce real-world security risks by simulating adversary behavior and testing defenses. This role involves planning and executing red team exercises, performing threat modeling, and conducting penetration testing across applications, infrastructure, and corporate environments. The engineer will develop scripts and tools to automate security testing, mentor team members, and partner with detection and response teams to improve incident readiness. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python, Go, and JavaScript; experience with MacOS, Linux, and network protocols like DNS and TCP/IP; and knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework. The role requires expertise in attacking modern software stacks including Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud providers like AWS and GCP while evading tools such as EDR and IDS to secure financial technology products.

What you'll do

  • Plan and execute red team exercises that simulate real-world attack scenarios across applications, infrastructure, and physical environments.
  • Perform threat modeling and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities in corporate and technical systems.
  • Develop scripts and tools to automate security testing activities and improve internal processes.
  • Partner with detection and response teams to conduct adversarial simulations and improve incident readiness.
  • Communicate findings clearly to stakeholders and work with engineering teams to remediate identified risks.
  • Mentor and provide guidance to members of the Offensive Security team.
  • Lead security incidents when penetration test or red team findings require immediate action.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of experience conducting red team operations or advanced penetration testing.
  • Experience mentoring or supporting the development of other security engineers.
  • Proficiency in reading and writing Python, Go, and JavaScript.
  • Experience with MacOS and Linux operating systems.
  • Knowledge of network protocols (DNS, TCP/IP) and defensive tools like IDS/IPS, Packet Capture, and EDR.
  • Deep understanding of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and security fundamentals of access and identity.
  • Experience attacking modern software stacks including CI, Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud providers (AWS, GCP).
  • Experience in the Financial Technology domain (preferred); experience as a technical lead at other organizations (preferred).
