Offensive Security Engineer

Accountabilities:

• Validate and extend Secure SDLC threat models through continuous penetration testing, assessing threat severity, mitigation status, and underlying security assumptions.
• Automate routine security validations to keep pace with a rapidly evolving platform while reserving manual analysis for complex and high-impact scenarios.
• Plan and execute full-scope red team engagements across cloud compute, storage, inference, networking, orchestration layers, and internal tooling.
• Identify attack paths capable of impacting organizational operations, customer environments, or critical platform assets.
• Collaborate with detection and response and other security engineering teams on purple team exercises, validating detection coverage and closing defensive gaps.
• Research novel attacks against GPU infrastructure, including firmware, vendor drivers, device passthrough, SR-IOV/IOMMU configurations, and RDMA/InfiniBand environments.
• Investigate vulnerabilities within inference technologies and AI platform services, including model-serving infrastructure and managed orchestration platforms.
• Assess tenant-isolation boundaries and explore potential low-level attack paths that could compromise isolation.
• Conduct targeted offensive security assessments of new products and significant infrastructure changes before they reach production.
• Develop custom offensive tooling and post-exploitation capabilities to improve the effectiveness and scalability of security testing.
• Produce clear, actionable reports for both technical teams and senior leadership, prioritizing findings and providing practical remediation guidance.
• Establish and continuously improve red team processes, tooling, methodologies, and operating practices as the platform scales.

Requirements:

• 6+ years of experience in offensive security, penetration testing, red teaming, adversary simulation, or a closely related discipline.
• Deep hands-on experience attacking cloud-native environments, including Kubernetes privilege escalation, cloud IAM abuse, virtualization, and container escape techniques.
• Strong understanding of the broader attack lifecycle, including initial access, persistence, lateral movement, and data exfiltration.
• Proven ability to develop custom security tooling and post-exploitation capabilities using Python, Go, or similar programming languages.
• Experience conducting purple team exercises and collaborating constructively with blue teams and defensive security functions.
• Ability to communicate complex technical findings through clear, senior-level reports that contextualize business risk and provide actionable guidance to engineers.
• Experience with ML infrastructure, model-serving pipelines, or GPU clusters is a strong advantage.
• Reverse engineering and exploit development experience is a plus.
• Application security experience is advantageous.
• Familiarity with eBPF bypass techniques, kernel-level exploitation, vulnerability research, or CVE discovery is beneficial.
• Understanding of cloud provider internals, including hypervisor and networking layers, is a plus.
• Experience presenting security research at industry conferences such as Black Hat or DEF CON is advantageous.
• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, technical depth, and the ability to work independently in a rapidly evolving environment.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation with equity upside.
• Flexible, remote-first working environment.
• Opportunities for career growth, continuous learning, and professional development.
• Significant ownership and flexibility in how security challenges are approached.
• Opportunity to work on novel attack surfaces spanning GPU infrastructure, AI platforms, and large-scale multi-tenant cloud environments.
• Collaboration with highly experienced engineers working on advanced AI infrastructure.
• Opportunity to contribute directly to impactful AI and cloud security initiatives.
• International environment with talented teams across multiple regions.
• Inclusive and collaborative culture focused on innovation, trust, meaningful impact, and continuous growth.
