We seek an experienced offensive security leader to build and lead the Product Red Team. This newly established function emulates real-world attacks against synthetic customer instances to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and design gaps before external threat actors or researchers discover them.
This role requires an operator who has led offensive security operations in high-consequence environments-covert intelligence or military settings preferred-with proven ability to establish operational standards, navigate ambiguous mission parameters, and influence cross-functional stakeholders around complex security trade-offs.
You will build upon this team's charter, engagement frameworks, and rules of engagement with other teams. You will help drive our product security and response posture through adversary emulation, vulnerability research, exploit development, and collaboration with other offensive and defensive teams.
Key Responsibilities:
Establish Operations Objectives, Policies & Procedures:
Own Product Red Team's operation objectives and engagement selection criteria in alignment with product security roadmap and risk register, CISO directives, and company priorities.
Expand upon rules of engagement, threat actor emulation standards, testing policies, and protocols.
Establish operational security procedures for covert operations, detection evasion, and incident response protocols.
Create escalation procedures and approval frameworks for high-risk engagements.
Own campaign selection processes, engagement proposal templates, and findings documentation and readout standards.
Define Engagement Framework & Success Metrics:
Design and implement engagement types: vulnerability risk assessment, product security assessments, and ongoing adversarial campaigns.
Establish and report on technical and operational success metrics: kill chain coverage, remediation velocity, and detection engineering insights.
Create reporting templates-technical findings, executive briefings, engineering recommendations-that drive actionable remediation.
Define boundaries and operational testing windows in coordination with product engineering and detection engineering teams.
Lead Offensive Operations Team:
Build team capability across threat actor emulation, exploit development, persistence mechanisms, supply chain security, and AI-specific attack vectors (prompt injection, model manipulation, data poisoning).
Mentor team on operational security tradecraft, documentation discipline, and risk management under ambiguous conditions.
Support team members in their time zones, spanning from US West Coast to India.
