## About the Role

* Two years of Penetration-Testing experience
 * Penetration testing experience across at least two of the following domains: network, cloud, web application, identity, or containerized environments.
 * Experience operating within defined Rules of Engagement.
 * Proficiency with common offensive-security tools (e.g., Burp Suite, Cobalt Strike, Metasploit, BloodHound).
 * Ability to produce high-quality technical documentation, findings reports, and remediation guidance.

Nice to Haves:

 * Experience developing custom exploits, automation scripts, or AI-augmented testing workflows.
 * Familiarity integrating tooling into agent-based or Agentic AI architectures.
 * Prior experience leading penetration-testing teams or programs.
 * Industry certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, CRTO, GPEN, or equivalent.

## Description

* Consolidate ad-hoc penetration-testing efforts into a unified enterprise pen-testing program with standard methodologies, processes, and reporting.
 * Establish and maintain Rules of Engagement (ROE) for all testing activities, defining scope, communication protocols, safety constraints, escalation paths, and evidence-handling guidelines.
 * Coordinate and supervise all test execution activities, including internal teams, contractors, and third-party assessors.

Technical Execution & Delivery

 * Plan and execute network, application, and cloud penetration tests under the approved ROE.
 * Combine manual tradecraft with AI-assisted offensive-security tooling to increase depth and coverage of assessments.
 * Produce detailed evidence packages, exploitation artifacts, and findings reports that support remediation and root-cause analysis.
 * Work with product teams, system owners, and DevSecOps/Cloud teams to validate findings and retest fixes.

Tooling & AI Integration

 * Integrate penetration-testing tools, automation frameworks, and exploit-development workflows into the Agentic AI security architecture.
 * Recommend tooling enhancements, AI-driven analysis approaches, and automation opportunities.

Risk & Vulnerability Management

 * Conduct technical risk assessments across systems to determine likelihood, impact, and exploitation feasibility.
 * Analyze risk vectors to prioritize vulnerabilities and perform triage across multiple findings sources (manual, automated, AI-assisted, third-party).
 * Partner with vulnerability-management, SOC, threat-intelligence, and engineering teams to drive remediation activities.
