    • Identify and validate attack paths involving IAM misconfigurations, overprivileged roles, secrets exposure, metadata abuse, insecure automation, and weaknesses in cloud service configurations.
    • Assess detection and response coverage by exercising logging, alerting, monitoring, and incident response processes in partnership with blue team and detection engineering functions.
    • Track emerging attacker techniques, cloud exploitation trends, and new abuse paths relevant to modern enterprise environments.

    What they're looking for

    • 5+ years of experience in offensive security, red teaming, penetration testing, and detection validation.
    • Familiarity with attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures, and the ability to map findings to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
    • Ability to write concise, actionable reports and communicate complex technical issues to diverse stakeholders.
    • Relevant industry certifications such as OSCP, OSEP, GXPN, GPEN, or cloud security certifications.
