About the role

You plan and execute multi-week engagements that emulate how a real attacker would operate against the organisation, working towards defined objectives rather than a checklist. The defensive team is actively monitoring, so a significant part of the work is maintaining access and progressing quietly once they begin investigating. Every engagement ends with a joint debrief covering what was achieved and what was detected.

What you will do

  • Plan operations against defined objectives, not a checklist
  • Build and maintain the tooling the operation needs
  • Debrief the defenders honestly, including what they caught

What they ask for

  • Several years of offensive work with references
  • Comfortable writing your own tooling rather than running someone else's
  • Understands modern detection well enough to plan around it

Nice to have

  • OSEP or CRTO
  • Published tooling
  • Physical or social assessment experience
