If you can think outside of the Kali box, and love to think like an attacker (with a track record to prove your capabilities) we want to talk to you about joining our team!
What you'll do here:
Conduct reconnaissance on network environment to build external landscape using industry standard tools, threat intelligence feeds, OSINT and other readily available information sources
Conduct offensive security testing to ensure security controls and response actions are effective. If you are detected, shifting from a red team focus to a purple team approach – your purpose isn’t to create a “Gotcha!” moment – our mission is to strengthen our controls throughout the entire attack chain across the enterprise.
Employ attack strategies to simulate real-world attacks by threat actors and benchmark response capabilities across the enterprise.
Ability to identify and exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks and applications to simulate attacks by threat actors – you have a proven track record of evading modern EDR (eg. Crowdstrike, MDE, Sentinel One) while elevating privileges/hitting your target.
Analyze and report on the results of security assessments and make recommendations to improve the security posture of the enterprise.
You understand the TCP/IP stack in depth and know how to exploit it to create covert beacons, C2 channels, exfiltrate data across DNS. Understanding how routing tables work (eg. BGP) and how they can be exploited is an asset.
Work with regional cyber governance and risk teams to ensure that findings are properly tracked for remediation
Generate the required metrics and reports to support the CISO IFC Affiliates in reporting on enterprise security control effectiveness
Leverage industry standard and emerging tools to evaluate emerging threats to the financial services space and benchmark regions and affiliate companies to peers.
Able to consume threat intelligence and apply the attack surface to crown jewel assets for target and tactic development, proposing clear rules of engagement for testing activities (either one time or perpetual) and ensuring compliance to the ROE through all phases of testing.

A minimum of three (3) years of experience in information security.
Knowledge of offensive security operations, tools and techniques.
Knowledge of information security standards, regulations and legislation (NIST, COBIT5, ISO 27001), an asset.
Python scripting comes naturally, and have a history of using it in blue/red/purple team engagements
Proficiency in manual testing techniques beyond automated scanning.
Strong knowledge of OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, and CVSS scoring.
You can take many vectors of technical vulnerability information (Pentest reports, vulnerability scanning data, SAST/DAST reports) and build an attack plan on critical assets.
You must have the ability to take highly technical data and results and translate them to business-friendly language to help non-technical stakeholders…
