Senior Offensive Security Engineer

We’re seeking a Senior Offensive Security Engineer to grow Anduril’s offensive security practice. The ideal candidate has documented background in offensive security. They will be able to conduct complex security architecture reviews, understand modern threats and exploits against hardware, software, people, and work hand in hand with engineering teams to build resiliency into Anduril. ABOUT THE JOB

• You will execute offensive security engagements across all of Anduril, including hardware, firmware, software, cloud infrastructure, web applications, internal and external networks, and physical security, to name a few.
• Your scope covers every frontier of offensive tradecraft: social engineering your way into a hardened facility one week, discovering zero days in satellite radio modules the next, prototyping an autonomous red team AI agent, or working out of a confidential test range to break a flight critical weapons system.
• The work moves fast and wide. You will routinely own engagements end-to-end across the entire chain. This is a breadth role by design. We want a versatile professional who is just as capable of compromising a Kubernetes cluster or web application as they are of dumping firmware off an undocumented SoM or reverse engineering a proprietary RF protocol.
• This is a high consequence role with genuine real world impact. Our systems are deployed in operational environments around the world; when security fails, the stakes are existential. Our adversaries are sophisticated, nation state actors; this is not a check the box compliance exercise.

• Provide expertise to other Anduril teams on real world attack vectors and enable engineering to implement proper resolutions.
• Plan for, build, and maintain capabilities needed to execute truly unique red team projects.
• Discover novel vulnerabilities, perform long form security research, and create offensive security prototypes, tooling, and infrastructure.
