  • Coordinate and supervise all test execution activities, including internal teams, contractors, and thirdparty assessors.

Technical Execution & Delivery

  • Plan and execute network, application, and cloud penetration tests under the approved ROE.
  • Combine manual tradecraft with AIassisted offensivesecurity tooling to increase depth and coverage of assessments.
  • Produce detailed evidence packages, exploitation artifacts, and findings reports that support remediation and rootcause analysis.
  • Work with product teams, system owners, and DevSecOps/Cloud teams to validate findings and retest fixes.

Tooling & AI Integration

  • Integrate penetrationtesting tools, automation frameworks, and exploitdevelopment workflows into the Agentic AI security architecture.
  • Recommend tooling enhancements, AIdriven analysis approaches, and automation opportunities.

Risk & Vulnerability Management

  • Conduct technical risk assessments across systems to determine likelihood, impact, and exploitation feasibility.
  • Analyze risk vectors to prioritize vulnerabilities and perform triage across multiple findings sources (manual, automated, AIassisted, thirdparty).
  • Partner with vulnerabilitymanagement, SOC, threatintelligence, and engineering teams to drive remediation activities.

Here's what you need:

  • Two years of Penetration-Testing experience
  • Penetration testing experience across at least two of the following domains: network, cloud, web application, identity, or containerized environments.
  • Experience operating within defined Rules of Engagement.
  • Proficiency with common offensivesecurity tools (e.g., Burp Suite, Cobalt Strike, Metasploit, BloodHound).
  • Ability to produce highquality technical documentation, findings reports, and remediation guidance.

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience developing custom exploits, automation scripts, or AIaugmented testing workflows.
  • Familiarity integrating tooling into agentbased or Agentic AI architectures.
  • Prior experience leading penetrationtesting teams or programs.
  • Industry certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, CRTO, GPEN, or equivalent.
