Offensive Security Engineer
We are seeking an Offensive Security Engineer to help identify, validate, and reduce security risks across applications, infrastructure, cloud environments, and corporate systems. You will work as part of a collaborative security function, conducting authorised penetration tests, red team exercises, vulnerability assessments, and adversary simulations. Your work will help strengthen defensive capabilities, improve detection and response, and provide practical recommendations that support secure business operations.
Key responsibilities include planning and executing engagements across web applications, APIs, networks, endpoints, wireless environments, containers, and cloud platforms. You will research emerging attack techniques, develop or adapt tools and proof-of-concept exploits, assess the potential impact of identified weaknesses, and document clear, actionable findings for both technical and non-technical audiences. You will also collaborate with engineering and operations teams to validate remediation, contribute to threat modelling and security architecture reviews, and help improve testing methodologies, procedures, and internal security standards. Where appropriate, you may support incident investigations, purple team activities, and the development of detection use cases.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in offensive security, penetration testing, red teaming, or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of common attack paths and defensive controls. Practical experience with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, BloodHound, Wireshark, or comparable technologies is expected, along with scripting or programming ability in languages such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, or JavaScript. Familiarity with cloud security, Active Directory, CI/CD environments, and secure software development practices is highly desirable. Relevant certifications such as OSCP, OSEP, CRTO, GXPN, or equivalent experience are welcomed. You should demonstrate sound judgement, meticulous documentation skills, professional integrity, and the ability to communicate technical risks clearly. All testing will be conducted within defined legal and ethical boundaries.
