About this role

Role overview An offensive security engineering role focused on preventing breaches through hands-on adversarial testing, custom tooling, and root-cause analysis. The position blends client-facing security engagements with internal product improvement, targeting engineers early in their offensive security careers who can pair strong technical fundamentals with a builder's mindset.

Responsibilities - Execute complex adversarial security engagements for external customers, delivering precise technical outcomes across varied environments. - Develop custom methodologies, payloads, exploits, and tools when commercial or open-source options fall short. - Identify recurring vulnerability patterns discovered in the field and translate them into platform-level improvements. - Propose and prototype new detection or testing capabilities based on findings from active engagements. - Produce clear, actionable reports that speak to both hands-on practitioners and executive stakeholders. - Continuously deepen expertise across the offensive security landscape, including emerging AI-assisted tradecraft.

Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field, with 0–2 years of relevant experience or internships. - Proficiency writing software or scripts in Go (Golang), Python, PowerShell, or Bash. - Demonstrated interest or early experience in product security (application, mobile, or LLM systems), cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP), web or network penetration testing, red teaming, or IoT/embedded security. - A track record of competition or self-driven practice, such as CTF results (CCDC, CPTC) or rankings on platforms like Hack The Box, TryHackMe, or PortSwigger. - Active pursuit of industry certifications such as OSCP, OSEP, PNPT, BSCP, OSWE, or equivalent cloud credentials.

Nice to have - Published vulnerability research, CVEs, exploit development, or contributions to open-source offensive security projects. - Familiarity with AI prompt engineering applied to reconnaissance, payload generation, or tool development. - Public research output through blog posts, conference talks, or community mentoring.

Benefits and work setup - A high-performance, ownership-driven culture that prioritizes customer outcomes, intellectual honesty, and continuous learning. - Opportunities to mentor junior engineers and influence the technical direction of the team. - Exposure to a broad threat surface spanning traditional infrastructure, web applications, cloud-native environments, and AI/ML systems.
