Overview

We are seeking a Red-Team / Adversarial Security Lead responsible for planning and executing adversarial security assessments across complex enterprise environments. This role develops threat models, identifies potential attack paths and vulnerabilities, develops and executes red-team assessment plans, and evaluates the effectiveness of security controls.

The Red-Team / Adversarial Security Lead will analyze and document assessment results, communicate identified risks and vulnerabilities, recommend appropriate remediation actions, and support pass/fail safety-gate determinations based on established security criteria. This role requires strong technical cybersecurity experience across operating systems, infrastructure, and cloud environments.

• Develop threat models to identify potential threats, attack vectors, vulnerabilities, and security risks across systems and environments
• Develop and execute red-team and adversarial security assessment plans based on defined objectives and security criteria
• Perform penetration testing and adversarial testing to identify and validate vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and potential attack paths
• Evaluate the effectiveness of existing security controls through technical testing and adversarial techniques
• Analyze vulnerabilities and assessment findings to determine exploitability, potential impact, and associated security risk
• Conduct security assessments across diverse operating systems and enterprise technology environments
• Assess security risks and attack paths within cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Analyze and document assessment results, technical findings, supporting evidence, and recommended remediation actions
• Evaluate assessment results against established security and safety-gate criteria and support pass/fail determinations
• Communicate vulnerabilities, assessment findings, recommended remediation steps, and security risks to technical teams and program stakeholders
• Collaborate with cybersecurity, infrastructure, cloud, engineering, and architecture teams to understand system environments and evaluate identified risks
• Validate remediation of identified vulnerabilities and security weaknesses through follow-up testing
• Maintain awareness of evolving threats, vulnerabilities, attack techniques, and adversarial security testing practices

• 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, including hands-on experience with penetration testing, red-team operations, adversarial security testing, vulnerability assessment, or related security disciplines
• Experience applying threat modeling methodologies or frameworks, such as STRIDE or equivalent approaches, to identify potential threats, attack vectors, vulnerabilities, and security risks
• Experience planning and executing technical security assessments, penetration tests, or adversarial security assessments
• Deep technical experience across operating systems and associated security concepts, including environments such as Windows and Linux
• Experience identifying, validating, and assessing vulnerabilities and potential attack paths
• Knowledge of common attack techniques, exploitation methods, security vulnerabilities, and defensive controls
• Experience with cloud architecture and security concepts across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP
• Ability to analyze technical security findings and evaluate their potential impact and risk
• Experience documenting technical findings, supporting evidence, and remediation recommendations
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills
