Job description

Задачи:

Scoping and leading full-scope Red Team engagements against well-defined adversarial objectives across cyber, physical, social engineering, and process attack surfaces. Leading on methodology: shaping how the team scopes, runs and reports engagements and driving continuous improvement in how you all operate. Designing and delivering phishing and social engineering campaigns end to end – standing up the supporting infrastructure (domains, redirectors, mail and landing-page servers), crafting convincing pretexts, and developing the accompanying payloads to emulate realistic threat-actor delivery. Operating and tuning Command and Control frameworks (e.g. Cobalt Strike, Nighthawk, or equivalent) through initial access, post-exploitation, and lateral movement. Developing custom tooling, tradecraft, and EDR / defence‑evasion techniques to emulate realistic threat actors. Turning engagements into clear, compelling attack narratives – the kind that land with both the engineers who’ll fix the issues and the executives who need to understand the risk. Contributing to detection and resilience improvements through close collaboration with defensive teams. Researching emerging TTPs. Threats, and tooling, and bringing new techniques into the team’s methodology. Setting the technical bar and mentoring across the team – coaching operators, reviewing tradecraft, and helping develop the next generation of Red Team talent.

Требования:

Certifications like CRTO, OSCP / OSEP, CRTP or CREST (CCSAS / CCRTS) welcome, but your hands‑on ability matters far more than acronyms. Proficiency in at least one coding language.

This role is fully remote role with occasional travel required.
