About the Team

Your primary responsibility will be to support Vector Command customers by conducting external attack surface analysis, exposure reconnaissance, account and tool integrations, preparing monthly red team report deliverables, and prioritizing customer requests. You will work daily with Rapid7's Vector Command Red Team operators, assisting with ongoing red team exercises and staying up to date on the latest vulnerabilities, customer attack surface changes, and exposures within customer environments.

About the Role

Customer Facing Responsibilities:

• Translate technical concepts and communicate them effectively to non-security personnel.

• Coordinate communications between internal Rapid7 services on behalf of customers, including the Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Managed Vulnerability Management (MVM) teams.

• Provide monthly written summaries of each customer's attack surface and Vector Command Red Team operations.

Attack Surface Analyst, Internal Red Team:

• Analyze each customer's exposures and attack surface within the Vector Command platform.

• Conduct manual network and service reconnaissance to identify new exposures.

• Perform Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering on customers to identify attack surface elements that extend beyond traditional network services.

• Keep the Red Team informed of significant changes in customers' attack surfaces.

• Coordinate customer requests and prioritizations with the Red Team operators.

• Develop scripts to query and analyze attack surface data from numerous sources and automated systems.

• Perform entry level penetration testing activities against external assets, as assigned by the Red Team lead.

• 3+ years in an active technical security role.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Previous technical security consulting experience.

• Knowledge of modern penetration testing tools and methods.

• Certifications such as GPEN, PJPT, PNPT, CPTS, or OSCP are preferred.

• The ability to ask for help.

• Be an Advocate: Use excellent written and verbal communication skills to not just report vulnerabilities, but to advocate for the customer's security posture. Focus on "translating technical concepts" so non-security personnel understand the impact on their business.

• Strategic Alignment: Position your technical testing (network, web app, API) as a way to scale Rapid7's impact within the Global Services division.

• Driving Outcomes over Actions: Instead of just listing "performed technical testing," focus on the outcome: "helping customers remediate and mitigate prevalent threats". Your ability to consistently produce high-quality reports is a direct contribution to successful security outcomes for clients.

• Core Value Embodiment: Embody our core values to foster a culture of excellence that drives meaningful impact and collective success.
