Requirements

• 7+ years of offensive security experience (red teaming, adversary simulation

• Experience with cloud-native offensive operations (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, containerized microservices, CI/CD pipelines)
• Coach, develop careers, provide honest feedback, and build team culture where offensive security practitioners grow
• Convince an engineering VP to allocate sprint capacity for remediation, partner with detection teams without being adversarial
