Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

I’m currently supporting a global tier 1 bank who have just opened up two red team roles in the UK on a remote basis.

One at the Senior level and one at the Operator level. If you’re passionate about simulating real-world adversaries, from phishing and privilege escalation to badge cloning and physical intrusion, this is your opportunity to join a flat-structured team where impact speaks louder than titles.

This is true red teaming – 80% technical, 20% physical/social engineering. No purple teaming (that’s a separate function), no people management, just pure offensive security. The team is flat, but Senior Red Teamers are leaned on heavily for technical guidance and leadership, making this a great role for someone who wants visibility and influence without formal management responsibilities.

What I’m Looking For:

Senior Red Teamer

• 5+ years of hands-on red team experience
• Operates at a strategic and technical depth, capable of guiding others
• Passionate about exploits, evasion techniques, and full-scope engagements
• Comfortable taking the lead in engagements and acting as a technical reference for peers

Red Teamer

• Solid foundation in red team operations
• Exposure to both technical and physical/social engineering aspects
• Strong technical curiosity and hunger to grow in a world-class team
• Consulting experience welcome, but practical skill is what matters most

Key Requirement:

Candidates must be able to back up their CV with real-world technical capability—previous applicants have fallen short on this. If you can’t execute what you put on your CV, this won’t be the right fit.

• Bonus + Training Budget
• Fully Remote (UK)
• Visa Sponsorship available for standout candidates
• Work with a highly technical team where your skills are tested, challenged, and elevated

If this sounds like you, I encourage you to apply and let’s discuss!
