You will design and execute offensive security engagements — including penetration tests, red team exercises, and threat hunting campaigns — across cloud-native and hybrid environments. A core part of your mandate is to build and maintain automated security testing pipelines, leveraging AI-assisted tooling to continuously assess and improve the organisation's security posture.

- Conduct red team engagements simulating advanced persistent threats (APTs) and real-world attack chains
- Design, build, and maintain automated pentesting and security scanning pipelines integrated into CI/CD workflows
- Leverage AI and machine-learning–based tools (e.g., LLM-assisted vulnerability discovery, automated exploit generation, AI-driven anomaly detection) to scale offensive security operations
- Develop custom exploit code, scripts, and tooling tailored to the organisation's technology stack
- Assess and harden Kubernetes and AWS environments (IAM, VPC, EKS, Lambda, S3, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, etc.)
- Document findings in clear, actionable reports with risk ratings and remediation guidance
- Collaborate with SOC, DevOps, and engineering teams to validate fixes and improve detection capabilities
- Contribute to purple team exercises bridging offensive findings with defensive improvements
- Stay current on emerging attack techniques, CVEs, threat intelligence, and offensive security research
- Mentor junior security team members on offensive methodologies and tooling

- Deep understanding of OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, and common exploit frameworks (Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Sliver, etc.)
- Strong proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, Go, or similar)
- Strong proficiency in subject matter tools e.g. Pacu or Prowler
- Solid knowledge of networking, operating systems (Linux/Windows), and cloud-native architectures
- Familiarity with AI/ML-assisted offensive security tools and techniques
- Excellent analytical thinking and ability to work independently with minimal supervision
- Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical and executive reporting

- Relevant certifications such as OSCP, OSEP, OSCE, CRTO, GPEN, GXPN, or AWS Security Specialty
- Experience with Kubernetes / EKS security assessments and container escape techniques
- Experience in physical pentesting of hardware devices such as firewalls, wifi aps and contactless card readers
- Background in malware analysis, reverse engineering, or exploit development
- Hands-on experience with AI-powered pentesting frameworks (e.g., PentestGPT, Nuclei AI, custom LLM agents for recon/exploitation)
- Contributions to open-source security tools or published security research / CVEs
- Experience with threat intelligence platforms and adversary emulation frameworks
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks relevant to offensive testing (ISO 27001, NIS2, SOC 2)
