Red Team Engineer

Red Team Engineer | Adversary Simulation

Ready to make the move into red teaming properly?

You've been building your offensive security skills - maybe in penetration testing, maybe through personal research and labs - and you're ready for a role that lets you focus entirely on adversary simulation. This is that role.

We're looking for someone early in their red team journey but serious about the craft. You'll work directly alongside an experienced Technical Director, get involved in real intelligence-led engagements, and develop the skills that actually matter in this discipline - not just ticking boxes on a framework.

What You'll be Doing:

Supporting and contributing to end-to-end red team engagements across enterprise and hybrid environments. You won't be thrown in at the deep end without support - but you will be expected to take ownership of your work and show genuine curiosity about how attackers operate.

Day to day that means:

• Contributing to attack path design and threat scenario planning
• Hands-on technical delivery across Active Directory, Azure, M365, and cloud platforms
• Supporting phishing and social engineering campaigns
• Helping produce clear, accurate reporting that tells a real attacker story
• Learning how engagements are scoped, structured, and presented to clients

What We're Looking For:

• A background in penetration testing or offensive security, with a growing interest in red teaming specifically
• Solid foundations in Active Directory and at least one cloud environment (Azure preferred)
• Someone who learns independently - reads research, follows threat actors, runs labs
• Clear communication skills, written and verbal - you'll be client-facing
• A genuine passion for offensive security, not just a job title change

Nice to have:

• CRTO / CCRTS or working towards it - it'll carry real weight in this team
• Any personal projects, blogs, tools, or CTF history that shows you're invested
• Exposure to C2 frameworks or basic evasion techniques

Why this role?

You'll get structured exposure to complex, intelligence-led red team work from day one - supported by a senior technical lead who wants to bring the right person on and develop them properly. If red teaming is where you want to build your career, this is a strong foundation-
