A Remote Red Team job involves simulating cyberattacks to test an organization's security defenses while working remotely. These professionals assess vulnerabilities, exploit weaknesses, and provide recommendations to improve security. They use ethical hacking techniques, penetration testing, and social engineering to mimic real-world threats. The goal is to help organizations strengthen their security posture by identifying and addressing risks before malicious hackers can exploit them.
A typical day in a remote Red Team role involves planning and executing security assessments, crafting realistic attack scenarios, and documenting vulnerabilities discovered during penetration tests or simulated breaches. You’ll often work collaboratively with other Red Team members and interact with Blue Teams or IT staff to coordinate exercises and share findings. The workflow is usually a mix of independent tasks—such as research, reporting, and tool development—and regular virtual meetings to strategize or debrief. Flexibility, clear communication, and critical thinking are crucial as projects and threat simulations can vary frequently. This dynamic environment allows you to continuously develop your technical skills while contributing to the evolving security of diverse organizations.
To thrive as a Remote Red Team professional, you need a strong background in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, network security, and a deep understanding of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Familiarity with common cybersecurity tools (e.g., Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Nmap), scripting languages, and certifications like OSCP or CEH are highly valued. Exceptional problem-solving, written communication, and teamwork skills help in delivering comprehensive assessments and collaborating with clients or internal security teams. These competencies are essential for identifying security weaknesses, simulating real-world threats, and effectively improving an organization’s overall security posture.

Senior Security Engineer
Reports To: Director of Engineering
Summary
AxisCare is hiring a full-time, fully remote Senior Security Engineer to own security and compliance across our SaaS platform, the market-leading product powering the home care industry.
This is not a job where you'll write policies that nobody reads. You'll work directly with product engineering teams, embedded in how we build software, shaping our security posture. You'll own engineering's side of our SOC 2 Type II compliance program, lead us toward HITRUST certification, and keep our AWS infrastructure, Docker pipelines, and PHP/React codebase hardened as we move fast.
We're also building AI-powered products on top of Amazon Bedrock and our own machine learning models, and we use AI heavily in how we develop software. That creates new kinds of risk that most security playbooks don't cover yet. We need someone who's thinking about this already and building the guardrails that agents need to write secure software.
Home care agencies trust us to run their business every day. Their data includes protected health information. We need someone who takes that personally.
What You'll Do
Own AxisCare Engineering's security program as an individual contributor. Continually improve our security standards as threats evolve, strengthen the systems that enforce them, and work directly with engineers to close gaps.
Own engineering's share of SOC 2 Type II compliance: control design, evidence collection, audit prep, and gap remediation. Chart the path toward HITRUST certification, mapping what we already have and building what we don't.
Threat-model our application and infrastructure. We run a PHP/React modular monolith on AWS, managed with Terraform, deployed in Docker containers, backed by MySQL in RDS. Raise the bar on this stack's security (IAM policies, VPC design, secrets management, container security, database access controls) and keep raising it as the architecture evolves.
Own and improve our security scanning program. Tune findings, cut false positives, and make sure scan results turn into developer action.
Assess and mitigate the security risks inherent in our AI products: prompt injection, data leakage, model output filtering, abuse scenarios. Set guardrails for AI-assisted development workflows so the team ships faster without opening new attack surface.
Strengthen our detection and response capabilities: logging, alerting, incident response playbooks. Coordinate penetration tests, track findings, and drive remediation.
Keep our security policies clear, current, and short. Train developers on secure practices without burying them in process.
What We're Looking For
A builder, not just an auditor. You've built or run a security program inside a product company, not just assessed one from the outside. You can point to systems, controls, and habits you put in place that made a real difference.
A technical peer to engineers. You read code, read Terraform, and talk to developers in their language. When you flag a vulnerability, you can explain the fix, not just the finding.
A pragmatist. You understand that we need to ship. You weigh tradeoffs, probability, and impact, not by saying no to everything.
A strong writer. Remote work demands it, and clear writing is clear thinking. You'll write policies, incident reports, audit narratives, and messages to engineers explaining why something matters. Clarity counts.
An AI-aware security thinker. You're already wrestling with what AI means for security: new attack surfaces, new tooling, new ways that development workflows create risk.

How to Apply
Apply with a brief resume and either a written or video cover letter.
We review the cover letter before anything else in your application, so this really matters. This is your single biggest opportunity to improve your chances, and video submissions go right to the front of the line.
Prompt: How has AI changed the security landscape you work in: what's gotten easier, what's gotten harder, and how have you adapted? Tell us about a security program, control, or hard problem you're proud of owning. Tell us why this position is the one you've been hoping to find.
Written: No more than 600 words. We're looking for clarity of thought and strong communication. Use AI if you want, but don't send slop.
Video: 1–2 minutes, linked in the "Website, Blog, or Portfolio" section of your application. Doesn't need to be highly produced. We care about how you think and communicate.
We strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds and every walk of life to apply. Every person on our team brings their own unique perspective, and it's what makes our products better and our work more rewarding. We're eager to support you so that you can ship work you're proud of.
Candidates only. No recruiters, please.

AxisCare was started in 2011 by industry leaders to help meet the demand for a more user-friendly and mobile-compatible solution. Our product is a web-based management platform that helps agencies manage CRM and marketing, Caregiver/Client scheduling, billing, payroll and much more.
