Identify and exploit misconfigurations, logic flaws, privilege escalations, and other high-impact vulnerabilities.

Simulate real-world attack scenarios such as credential attacks, lateral movement, and privilege escalation in AD/cloud hybrid environments.

Document detailed technical findings, risk ratings, proof-of-concept exploits, and remediation strategies.

Collaborate with internal teams to validate fixes and ensure secure configuration post-remediation.

Stay up to date with threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

Contribute to internal tooling, red team exercises, and security testing methodologies.

Mentor junior team members and assist in strategic planning of offensive security initiatives.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

6+ years of proven experience in black box penetration testing.

Strong expertise in Active Directory testing, including attack paths, domain privilege escalation, and lateral movement.

Experience in cloud security testing across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments (IAM roles, misconfigured services, metadata exploitation, etc.).

Solid understanding of network protocols, web application security, OWASP Top 10, and API exploitation.

Proficiency with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Impacket, BloodHound, Mimikatz, Metasploit, and PowerView etc.

Scripting ability in Python, PowerShell, or Bash for exploit development and automation.

Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills.

Excellent report writing and verbal communication abilities.

Preferred Certifications (Good to Have):

OSCP / OSEP / CRTP / CRTE / OSED / OSWE / GPEN / AZ-500 / AWS Security Specialty

Microsoft or cloud-specific red team certifications are a plus

What Were Looking For:

A strategic attackers mindset who can go beyond surface-level vulnerabilities.

A technical leader who can assess modern hybrid infrastructures with precision.

A contributor who can deliver real-world risk insights, not just findings.
