Full job description

We are looking for a Senior Offensive Security Engineer (Red Team) with a strong, hands-on attacker mindset to execute advanced offensive security operations across our products, platforms, and enterprise environment. This role is highly execution-focused. You will work closely with the Red Team Director to design and carry out real-world adversary simulations, uncover high-impact attack paths, and validate how weaknesses can be chained to achieve meaningful attacker objectives.

The emphasis is on real exploitation, depth and impact, not checklist-driven testing. You will play a key role in translating red team operations into actionable insights that improve prevention, detection, and response capabilities across the organization.

- Execute hands-on red team operations simulating real-world threat actors across applications, platforms, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise environments. - Identify, exploit, and chain high-impact vulnerabilities and weaknesses to achieve defined attacker goals. - Perform advanced offensive activities, including:

- Manual exploitation and attack chaining - Abuse of identity, authorization, and trust relationships - Bypassing security controls and detections

- Contribute to the design and execution of end-to-end attack campaigns under the guidance of the Red Team Director. - Develop a deep understanding of products and systems through the lens of adversary abuse and exploitation . - Collaborate closely with:

- Detection & Response teams to test alerts, visibility, and response workflows - Incident Response teams during simulated incidents - Engineering and platform teams to explain exploitation paths and root causes

- Produce clear, technically detailed findings that translate into actionable remediation guidance . - Contribute to tooling, automation, and tradecraft improvements, including collaboration with the AI-Automation team . - Share knowledge and mentor junior red team engineers, helping raise overall tradecraft quality.

- Deep hands-on experience in offensive security , red teaming, or high-impact penetration testing. - Proven experience executing complex offensive engagements in production-like environments. - Strong understanding of:

- Adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) - Identity and access abuse - Application and infrastructure attack chains - Cloud and hybrid enterprise attack surfaces

- Manual exploitation and attack chaining - Writing custom scripts, tooling, or payloads - Bypassing security controls and detections

- How attacks were performed - Why defenses failed - What mitigations will meaningfully reduce risk

- Strong communication skills and experience collaborating with security and engineering teams.

The typical base salary range for this position is $148,500 - $223,900 annually.
