Position Summary

The Senior Engineer, Cyber Security Counter Threat Management will serve as a technical authority in red teaming and adversary emulation, leading engagements that stress-test our defenses against sophisticated attack scenarios.

Acting as the subject matter expert, this individual will mentor team members, shape detection engineering, and influence enterprise defense strategy through hands-on execution and strategic guidance.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end red team and adversary emulation campaigns — including scoping, objective definition, execution, and reporting — aligned with threat intelligence and MITRE ATT&CK.
• Design and deliver advanced attack paths targeting Azure, AWS, Active Directory, endpoints, and networks, chaining techniques to achieve defined objectives under stealth conditions.
• Develop custom offensive tooling, payloads, and C2 infrastructure; innovate techniques to evade mature detection and response controls.
• Execute phishing, social engineering, and initial-access methodologies against hardened environments.
• Act as the offensive-security subject matter expert for leadership, detection, and engineering teams; advise on realistic attacker behaviors and defensive priorities.
• Conduct purple team exercises to enhance detection coverage while strengthening incident detection and response processes.
• Produce high-impact reports and executive briefings translating findings into clear technical actions and strategic risk insights.
• Mentor junior operators, provide technical reviews, and codify operational methodologies and tooling standards.
• Research emerging threats, develop new techniques, and ensure the team remains ahead of evolving adversaries.
• Promote ethical judgment, operational security discipline, and compliance within engagement rules.

Qualifications, Knowledge and Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field; equivalent experience considered.

• 7+ years in offensive security, focusing extensively on red teaming and operating within well-defended, enterprise-scale environments.
• Proven ability to lead red team engagements independently and communicate findings effectively to technical and executive audiences.

• Expertise in adversary tradecraft across the full kill chain, with operational fluency in MITRE ATT&CK.
• Skilled in developing custom offensive tools, payloads, and obfuscation techniques for defeating EDR/XDR.
• Proficiency with C2 frameworks (Cobalt Strike, Mythic, Sliver) and offensive toolsets (BloodHound, Impacket).
• Strong scripting/programming skills (Python, PowerShell, C#, or Go).
• Deep command of cloud and identity attack techniques (Azure, Entra ID, AWS) and operating system internals.
• Strong understanding of phishing and social engineering vectors, as well as network exploitation techniques.

• Strategic thinking combined with technical precision.
• Ability to mentor team members and foster a culture of excellence and integrity.
• Strong communication and executive reporting skills.

• Advanced offensive certifications such as OSEP, OSCE3, CRTO, CRTL, or GXPN (OSCP or equivalent baseline expected).
