  • Develop custom tools, scripts, and exploits to test detection and response capabilities.
  • Collaborate to improve detection, logging, and incident response based on attack insights.
  • Contribute to the development of offensive security playbooks and adversary emulation plans.

Other Responsibilities

  • Communicate risks to engineering staff through training and technical demonstration of vulnerabilities and secure design patterns
  • Support security audits, compliance efforts, and executive briefings with technical depth.
Qualifications and Skills: Required:
  • 5 years of experience in security engineering, penetration testing, or offensive security.
  • Strong understanding of secure coding principles, web security vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10), and remediation techniques.
  • Proficiency in threat modeling, design reviews and security testing of various types of applications, technologies and platforms
  • Proficient in scripting and development (e.g., Python, Bash, Go, JavaScript).
  • Skilled in using tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, Cobalt Strike, or custom tooling.
  • Experience with AWS cloud platform and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred:
