Job Description
Job Description:
- Conduct offensive security research: independently perform vulnerability discovery and exploit development, build and adapt post-exploitation tooling and red team infrastructure, and continuously grow a reusable capability and tooling arsenal.
- Drive purple team collaboration: map attack paths and findings to MITRE ATT&CK, produce high-quality technical reports, work with the defensive team to translate TTPs into detection rules and hardening measures, and validate improvements through retesting.
- Contribute to red team methodology and program maturity: codify standardized attack workflows, automation, and a TTP library to improve the team's overall operational efficiency and repeatability.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field.
- At least 5 years of security engineering experience
- End-to-end penetration testing. Able to independently handle external compromise (perimeter asset discovery, web/service exploitation, initial access) and perform lateral movement and privilege escalation across internal networks, reliably reaching target assets in live engagements.
- Multi-platform vulnerability research. Deep expertise in at least 2 of the following: operating systems, cloud native (containers / Kubernetes), IoT, and mobile (Android / iOS). Able to independently drive vulnerability discovery, root-cause analysis, and reliable exploit development - not merely run existing tools.
- Hands-on social engineering & phishing. Able to independently design and execute social engineering campaigns, including phishing infrastructure setup and maintenance (domain reputation, mail-gateway evasion, SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment), payload delivery and identity theft (AiTM session hijacking, OAuth consent abuse), and multi-channel pretext design across email, IM, and voice.
- AI attack surface awareness and practice. Familiarity with the security weaknesses of LLM-based applications (prompt injection, broken authorization, data leakage) and the attack surface introduced by emerging integrations such as MCP, agents, and tool calling prior research or hands-on experience is a plus.
- Active Directory attack expertise. Deep understanding of AD authentication and trust models, with hands-on command of Kerberos attacks (Kerberoasting, delegation abuse, ticket forgery), ACL/ADCS abuse, domain privilege escalation, and cross-domain / cross-forest lateral movement.
- Offensive tooling development. Able to build or adapt exploitation tools, post-exploitation modules, and automation using Python / Go / C, without relying on any single off-the-shelf framework.
- Operational OPSEC discipline. Able to evade mainstream EDR and detection during engagements, understand how offensive activity surfaces in logs and detection rules, and adjust tradecraft accordingly.
Preferred Experience
- Tracking records of bug bounty awards, CVEs, public security articles, security conference speakers, Github star authors, etc.
- Experience in pentesting and red teaming, familiarity with kill chains in ATT&CK Framework (for example: initial access, Windows AD testing, lateral movement).
- Experience in spear phishing and social engineering tactics.
- Experience in performing APT offensive and defensive
