• Competitive salary with housing & living support
• Collaborate with team of diverse nationalities
• Opportunity to become a key member in UAE team

Job description

Own end-to-end offensive security assessments—web/API/mobile, infra/cloud, and Active Directory—and ship findings that matter. Act as the anchor for most pentest delivery while contributing to purple-team detection tuning.

Core Responsibilities

1. Assessment Delivery

• Plan and execute scoped tests across web, API, mobile, external/internal networks, AD, and AWS/Azure/GCP
• Emulate APT-style adversaries when scope allows (priv-escalation, lateral movement, data-exfil). 

2. Impact Validation & Remediation

• Prove practical business impact (auth bypass, sensitive-data exposure, lateral paths).
• Draft remediation steps that developers/administrators can realistically implement

3. Content & Automation

• Build and maintain reusable checks: Nuclei/Burp/ZAP templates, Semgrep rules, custom scripts (Python/PowerShell/Bash).
• Automate evidence collection and reporting where it eliminates grunt work.

4. Engagement Leadership (rotational)

• Own scoping calls, daily stand-ups, mid-engagement risk reviews, and final report sign-off
• Enforce ROE and quality gates (evidence completeness, exploit reproducibility)

5. Purple-Team Rotation

• Map top attacker TTPs to detections with Blue Team; validate coverage, tune SIEM/EDR rules, and document gaps

6. Research & Tooling

• Track emerging TTPs, EDR bypass techniques, and cloud IAM abuses; integrate the useful ones into playbooks.
