Job description

  • Identify, validate, and demonstrate realistic attack paths against Array’s products, infrastructure, and internal systems with a focus on business impact.
  • Analyze large, multi-language codebases using AI and manual techniques to uncover vulnerabilities, generate exploit hypotheses, and perform variant analysis.
  • Build safe proof-of-concept exploits that demonstrate unauthorized access, privilege escalation, data exposure, business logic flaws, or other meaningful security risks.
  • Partner with engineering to validate remediations, confirm exploit paths are fully eliminated, and identify similar patterns elsewhere in the environment.
  • Document findings with clear evidence, technical root cause, business impact, and practical remediation guidance while continuously improving Array’s offensive security capabilities.
  • Maintain a habit of using AI tools to think, build, and ship faster-it’s your default, not an afterthought.

Success Looks Like:

  • Demonstrated exploit paths to sensitive data, unauthorized access, or privilege escalation.
  • Security gaps identified that were not detected by existing tools or processes.
  • High-confidence validation that engineering fixes eliminate vulnerabilities and related attack paths.
  • Meaningful system coverage supported by documented testing methodology, whether vulnerabilities are found or not.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of offensive security, application security, penetration testing, or red team experience with a track record of finding real application vulnerabilities.
  • Deep expertise in modern web applications, APIs, authentication, authorization, distributed systems, and the OWASP Top 10.
  • Experience developing proof-of-concept exploits that demonstrate real business impact, not just theoretical risk.
  • Proficiency using AI to accelerate vulnerability discovery, exploit development, code analysis, and security research while validating AI-generated output.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex vulnerabilities, attack paths, and remediation guidance to engineering teams.
  • A belief that AI is reshaping work, you instinctively use it to accelerate everything you do.

Pay transparency: $170,000 + for base salary, depending on experience. Full time employee compensation includes an Incentive Stock Option (ISO) grant, subject to Board approval.

Expected interview process: Recruiter Conversation - Hiring Manager Interview - Loop round: How We Work, Engineering leadership.
