What you'll do

  • Execute adversary emulation and red team engagements using real-world threat actor techniques.
  • Perform hands-on offensive operations including initial access, persistence, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and command-and-control.
  • Develop and maintain custom red team tooling to safely test enterprise security controls.
  • Validate detection coverage and response effectiveness with detection and threat hunting teams.
  • Identify control gaps, detection blind spots, and architectural weaknesses across enterprise environments.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of hands-on red teaming or offensive security experience
  • Strong knowledge of attacker tradecraft and TTPs in modern enterprise environments
  • Experience attacking and evading controls across endpoint, identity, cloud infrastructures
  • Working understanding of defensive technologies like EDR, SIEM, and cloud security controls
  • Ability to independently plan and execute red team engagements within scope
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and reporting
  • High ethical standards with experience operating within defined rules of engagement
