Staff Engineer - Offensive Security As a Technical Lead within the security organization, you will design complex attack chains to demonstrate systemic risks rather than simply identifying bugs. You will perform full-stack penetration testing on web applications, APIs, and mobile apps, while conducting network and cloud audits across AWS, Azure, and K8s environments. Your daily work involves validating bug bounty reports, performing AI/LLM probing for prompt injections, and developing custom exploits to bypass EDR systems. You will build automated testing frameworks using PyRIT, Promptfoo, or Garak to detect sensitive data leakage in AI models. To succeed, you must be proficient in Python, C++, Bash, Burp Suite, Metasploit, and various C2 frameworks like Cobalt Strike. You will also lead Red Team operations, provide remediation guidance for vulnerabilities like XSS and SQLi, and manage the corporate bug bounty program.
