You'll join a team that runs red team, purple team, and threat-led engagements for organizations across nearly every industry, and you'll have the tools, lab, and backing to push the craft forward.    What You Can Expect   You'll be both a trusted advisor and a hands-on operator. You'll lead engagements from scoping through executive readout, build lasting relationships with client security teams, and help them understand not just what's broken, but how a real attacker would exploit it and what to fix first. You'll also coach and develop teammates—sharing what you know and learning from them in return.    Plan and execute red team, purple team, and threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) engagements that emulate real-world threat actors across on-prem, cloud, identity, and SaaS environments.  Test the newest attack surface, including AI/LLM-powered applications, agentic workflows, and the identity platforms that connect them.  Use and build AI-assisted tooling and automation to move faster and go deeper during operations.  Develop new tooling, design novel attacks, and contribute to a robust lab of testing tools and equipment built to tackle hundreds of adversary simulation scenarios.  Partner with defenders to turn findings into better detections, faster response, and measurable improvement.  Help shape the future of the practice—if you have an idea for a new service and there's demand for it, we'll help you build it.    Why You'll Want to Join   Real-world impact: Your work directly shapes how clients defend against the threats they're facing today.  Room to build: Support to develop tooling, research new techniques, and turn ideas into new services.  Industry visibility: We encourage and support presenting at local, national, and international security conferences.  Variety: Engagements across industries, technologies, and environments—no two operations look the same.  Growth: Work alongside experienced operators, mentor others,…
