Securin is expanding its team of offensive security analysts focused on hunting and mitigating extreme risks in digital ecosystems, AI systems and future AI models.

We are looking for Offensive Security analysts who can execute offensive assessments and attack validation across our customers' environments. Our objective is to preempt the adversary from attacking our customers and make the entities more secure.

This individual should have knowledge across the attack lifecycle, MITRE ATT&CK framework, TTPs used by known Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) groups, and a demonstrated capacity to understand, design and execute offensive security assessments against various technologies and stacks.

Candidates are expected to support delivering technology-oriented assessments that positively benefit the overall security posture of the organization. This role requires a desire to help drive fixes after testing cycles, both as short-term mitigation and long-term improvements.

Job Description

Do you want to find and exploit security vulnerabilities in fortune 100 companies, critical infrastructure companies, and public sector agencies impacting millions of users?
