About the Job

Requirements

  • 1 to 3 years of experience in offensive security, penetration testing, Red Team operations, adversary simulation, or hands-on security engineering with offensive testing exposure.
  • Working knowledge of Windows and Linux internals, cloud security, artificial intelligence and large language models, common enterprise attack paths, and at least one major cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Practical familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK and ability to map and demonstrate Red Team procedures against tactics, techniques, objectives, and enterprise risk.
  • Practical experience writing or modifying scripts in PowerShell, Python, Go, Rust, or C#, with enough depth to automate operator tasks, adapt approved tooling, handle output, and troubleshoot execution issues.
  • Ability to think through attack paths, adjust safely when assumptions fail, maintain discipline under scope constraints, and document what worked, what failed, and why.
  • Clear technical writing, disciplined evidence handling, and ability to explain attack paths, impact, and remediation context to technical audiences without overstating findings.
  • Experience planning and managing test execution across automated security testing tools, validating results, tracking coverage, and delivering clear, actionable reports.

Responsibilities

  • Assist in planning and executing approved adversary simulation exercises across endpoints, identity, applications, cloud, and third-party integrations, with guidance from senior operators.
  • Execute adversary tradecraft across initial access simulation, internal discovery, credential access testing, privilege escalation, lateral movement, command-and-control simulation, and objective-based actions within approved scope.
  • Map procedures and findings to MITRE ATT&CK to keep tradecraft, reporting, and scenario design consistent across exercises.
  • Collect command output, screenshots, logs, timelines, access paths, affected assets, and constraints so findings are defensible and reproducible.
  • Help maintain lab environments, test infrastructure, and approved tooling while following established safety and operational security practices.
  • Contribute to team standards, document lessons learned, and participate in peer reviews of techniques, findings, and reports.
  • Use large language models to support authorized offensive security operations, including research, scripting, analysis, tooling, and workflow automation, and evaluate LLM-enabled systems for weaknesses that could contribute to an attack path.
  • Operate within defined scope, approvals, deconfliction steps, and engagement rules for all activities.

Desired Qualifications

  • OSCP, CRTO, CRTP, or similar hands-on security certifications.
