We’re looking for a Red Team Operator to join a skilled, close-knit team that genuinely loves this work. You’ll take part and operate in full-scope Red Team operations – cyber, physical, social engineering, and everything in between – emulating real-world adversaries to test how our defences actually hold up under pressure. When you find the gaps, you’ll help close them.

This is a hands-on role for someone who’s happiest with a shell, a payload, and a hard target. You’ll have time to research new tradecraft, and a team of talented, motivated operators around you to bounce ideas off, pair on tooling and learn from.

What you’ll be doing

• Taking part and operating in full-scope Red Team engagements against well-defined adversarial objectives across cyber, physical, social engineering, and process attack surfaces.
• Helping design and deliver phishing and social engineering campaigns end to end – standing up the supporting infrastructure (domains, redirectors, mail and landing-page servers), crafting convincing pretexts, and developing the accompanying payloads to emulate realistic threat-actor delivery.
• Operating and tuning Command and Control frameworks (e.g. Cobalt Strike, Nighthawk, or equivalent) through initial access, post-exploitation, and lateral movement.
• Developing custom tooling, tradecraft, and EDR / defence-evasion techniques to emulate realistic threat actors.
• Turning engagements into clear, compelling attack narratives – the kind that land with both the engineers who’ll fix the issues and the executives who need to understand the risk.
• Contributing to detection and resilience improvements through close collaboration with defensive teams.
• Researching emerging TTPs. Threats, and tooling, and bringing new techniques into the team’s methodology.

Some other highly valued skills may include:

• Certifications like CRTO, OSCP / OSEP, CRTP or CREST (CCSAS / CCRTS) welcome, but your hands-on ability matters far more than acronyms.
• Proficiency in at least one coding language.
• Demonstrated ability to solve complex and challenging technical problems.

You will be assessed on key critical skills relevant for success in role, such as job-specific technical skills.

This role is fully remote role with occasional travel required.
