  • Proficiency with cloud-native offensive tooling including Pacu (AWS exploitation framework) and AADInternals (Azure/M365 offensive toolkit), alongside enumeration platforms such as ScoutSuite, CloudFox, Prowler, and ROADtools.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Prior DoD or IC classified environment experience and familiarity with adversary simulation platforms such as Cobalt Strike, Sliver, or Havoc are a strong plus.

  • Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes security assessments, including container escape techniques, privileged container abuse, K8s RBAC misconfigurations, service account taken abuse, and CI/CD pipeline security across GitLab, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins environments.
  • Strong scripting skills in Bash, Python, and PowerShell are expected, and a working knowledge of MITRE ATT&CK as applied to cloud and hybrid environments
