About the opportunity

• As a senior member of the Figment Security Team, you'll plan and run full-scope adversary emulation across all of Figment's products and platforms, from conventional cloud and application infrastructure to build pipelines and crypto systems. You'll own engagements end-to-end: evaluating environments to find vulnerabilities, building the attack scenarios to prove them out, and seeing your findings drive real fixes.
• This role is as much about partnership as it is about offense. You'll work directly with stakeholders and the blue team to communicate findings clearly, recommend practical mitigations, and help strengthen our overall security posture.

How you will make an impact

• Plan and execute red team engagements, pentests, and ad-hoc assessments against cloud, development pipelines, web and application layers, source code, and more.
• Apply attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures safely within Figment environments, including detection-evasion work.
• Produce clear reports and presentations tailored to both technical and executive audiences.
• Partner with stakeholders, including technical staff, leadership, and legal counsel, to translate findings into risk-appropriate, actionable recommendations.
• Collaborate with the blue team to suggest mitigations, validate fixes, and improve defensive coverage.
• Mentor blue team members and lead cross-team exercises such as purple teaming.
• Support incident response with offensive security technical expertise and contribute to post-incident action plans.
• Build and improve red team tooling, scripts, infrastructure, methodologies, and documentation.

What you bring to the team

• Experience with and strong understanding of cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and supply chains.
• Demonstrated use of AI tools to accelerate offensive work (LLM-assisted code review, payload generation, recon, report drafting), with sound judgment about where they help versus where manual testing is required.
• Offensive expertise in container orchestration: attacking and escaping Docker and Kubernetes (container breakout, RBAC abuse, misconfiguration exploitation).
• Experience performing API and web application assessments.
• Experience performing source code review for security flaws.
• Experience building automations that chain red team tooling together, cutting manual effort across recon, exploitation, and reporting.
• Strong written and verbal communication conveying findings, risk, and remediation to engineers, stakeholders, and executives.

Bonus if you have:

• Industry certifications such as OSCP/OSCE, OSEP, OSWE, GPEN, GCPN, GWAPT, or GXPN.
• Solid understanding and experience working with GitHub and GitHub Actions.
• Programming skills as well as the ability to read and assess applications written in multiple languages such as Go, Rust, and Ruby.
• Understanding of security risks for blockchain and crypto.
