## Description

We are seeking an aggressive, hands-on Red Team / Cyber Assessment Engineer to join our technical assessment team in Annapolis Junction, MD, with periodic OCONUS travel requirements. In this role, you will execute adversarial assessments, emulate real-world threat actors, and evaluate complex network architectures to identify vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them. You won't just run automated scanners-you will conduct full-scope Red Team engagements, perform deep network anomaly analysis, leverage the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and author comprehensive mitigation reports to harden critical infrastructure.
