Perform deep, context-aware penetration testing of web applications, APIs, endpoint agents, thick clients, identity systems, and cloud-native services.
Build AI-powered threat hunting skills and fuzz factory plugins using Claude and Codex.
Develop working proof-of-concept exploits for discovered vulnerabilities that demonstrate real impact in the product's deployment context.
Validate vulnerabilities from all sources, confirm exploitability, assess severity in context, and deliver specific fix recommendations to engineering teams grounded in the codebase and deployment model.
Partner with Cyber Defense and Security Architects to translate offensive findings into defensive capabilities.
Build and maintain AI-driven security testing tooling integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
Participate in threat modeling exercises alongside Product Security Architects.
Requirements
5+ years in Product Security, or Penetration Testing with direct hands-on testing and exploit development
Strong expertise in web application and API security: authentication/authorization, session management, input validation, cryptography, injection attacks, deserialization, SSRF, and privilege escalation
Proficiency with penetration testing tools and methodologies (Burp Suite, custom scripts, fuzzing frameworks) combined with manual exploit validation
Hands-on experience using LLM platforms (Claude, Codex, or similar) to build security testing workflows, generate test cases, analyze code, or develop exploits
Experience building custom security tooling: fuzzers, scanners, exploit frameworks, or automation that goes beyond configuring off-the-shelf products
Strong understanding of common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top Ten, API Security Top Ten, CWE) and how they manifest in real production applications
Experience collaborating with defensive security teams (SOC, Cyber Defense, IR) to translate offensive findings into detection and monitoring capabilities
Understanding of cloud security fundamentals (preferably AWS) and CI/CD pipeline security
Strong communication skills: you can explain a complex exploitation chain to an engineering team and deliver a clear risk narrative to leadership
Preferred: Experience building AI-native security workflows, threat hunting agents, or automated fuzzing pipelines using LLM platforms
Background in securing endpoint technologies, identity systems, privileged access management, or enterprise security platforms
Experience with mobile application security testing and thick client assessments
Familiarity with container security, Kubernetes security, and infrastructure-as-code scanning
Experience working with bug bounty programs, vulnerability disclosure programs, or coordinated disclosure
Professional certifications such as OSWE, OSCP, GWAPT, GPEN, or equivalent hands-on credentials
Contributions to security research, open-source security tooling, or published vulnerability disclosures
