We’re Hiring: Senior Red Team Specialist


We're looking for a Senior Red Team Cybersecurity Specialist to join our offensive security operations. In this high-impact role, you'll proactively identify weaknesses before attackers do, simulating advanced persistent threats (APTs) to rigorously test our systems, people, and infrastructure.

This is a key position for a hands-on expert who thrives on ethical hacking and wants to build a best-in-class offensive security function.



What You’ll Do


  • Execute Realistic Engagements: Design and lead red team engagements that simulate real-world threat actors.

  • Conduct Full-Scope Testing: Perform comprehensive internal and external penetration tests across web, mobile, and network infrastructure.

  • Exploit & Escalate: Identify vulnerabilities, develop custom exploits, and escalate privileges.

  • Use Adversary Tools: Utilize C2 frameworks such as Cobalt Strike, Sliver, Mythic, or Empire.

  • Perform Social Engineering: Conduct social engineering assessments, including phishing, vishing, and physical intrusion tests.

  • Stay Ahead of Threats: Map attack surfaces using tools like BloodHound and SharpHound and stay current on adversary TTPs using MITRE ATT&CK.

  • Develop Malware: Create custom malware, obfuscate payloads, and bypass EDR/XDR solutions.

  • Report & Collaborate: Generate actionable reports for the blue team with clear risk analysis and work with them to enhance detection and response capabilities.



What You Bring


  • Experience: 6+ years of total experience, with at least 4 years of dedicated hands-on offensive security and red teaming.

  • Technical Skills: Strong command of tools like Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Burp Suite, and Nmap.

  • Scripting: Experience with custom script development in Python, Bash, or PowerShell.

  • Core Knowledge: A deep understanding of Active Directory exploitation, lateral movement, and privilege escalation techniques.

  • Frameworks: Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, and OWASP.

  • Communication: The ability to write detailed reports and clearly communicate complex technical findings to non-technical stakeholders.


Required & Preferred Certifications


  • Mandatory: OSCP, CRTP, OSCE

  • Preferred: GRTP, OSEE


Compensation


  • Salary: Above industry average

If you're ready to think like an adversary and secure an organization from the inside out, we want to hear from you.
