We hire curious individuals for whom learning is a passion. We lean into our mission: We Care. We Collaborate. We Deliver.\nAt every level, we champion leaders who live our values of integrity, inclusion, innovation, and commitment to success. Imagining our work as a journey, we believe integrity guides our way, inclusion moves us forward together, innovation creates new destinations, and our commitment to success empowers us to deliver on our vision to be the most trusted global consulting firm.\nWhere We Need You\nProtiviti's Attack & Penetration team is growing, and we're looking for an offensive security professional who wants to do real adversary work-not checkbox testing. You'll join a team that runs red team, purple team, and threat-led engagements for organizations across nearly every industry, and you'll have the tools, lab, and backing to push the craft forward.\nWhat You Can Expect\nYou'll be both a trusted advisor and a hands-on operator. You'll lead engagements from scoping through executive readout, build lasting relationships with client security teams, and help them understand not just what's broken, but how a real attacker would exploit it and what to fix first. You'll also coach and develop teammates-sharing what you know and learning from them in return.\nPlan and execute red team, purple team, and threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) engagements that emulate real-world threat actors across on-prem, cloud, identity, and SaaS environments. \nTest the newest attack surface, including AI/LLM-powered applications, agentic workflows, and the identity platforms that connect them. \nUse and build AI-assisted tooling and automation to move faster and go deeper during operations. \nDevelop new tooling, design novel attacks, and contribute to a robust lab of testing tools and equipment built to tackle hundreds of adversary simulation scenarios. \nPartner with defenders to turn findings into better detections, faster response, and measurable improvement. \nHelp shape the future of the practice-if you have an idea for a new service and there's demand for it, we'll help you build it. \nWhy You'll Want to Join\nReal-world impact: Your work directly shapes how clients defend against the threats they're facing today. \nRoom to build: Support to develop tooling, research new techniques, and turn ideas into new services. \nIndustry visibility: We encourage and support presenting at local, national, and international security conferences. \nVariety: Engagements across industries, technologies, and environments-no two operations look the same. \nGrowth: Work alongside experienced operators, mentor others, and grow your career within a global firm. \nFlexibility: A hybrid model that balances purposeful in-person time with remote work. \nWhat Will Help You Be Successful\nYou love offensive security and get energized by finding the path an attacker would take. \nYou stay current on the threat landscape-new TTPs, tooling, vulnerabilities, and how AI is changing both attack and defense. \nYou thrive on the puzzle of targeting an organization, chaining weaknesses together, and evading defensive controls. \nYou enjoy sharing what you know-coaching teammates on engagements, building training, or debating the latest technique. \nYou care about the client outcome and can translate technical risk into business impact that resonates with security teams and executives alike. \nYou're comfortable owning work end to end-scoping, execution, reporting, and readout. \nYou're curious about your clients' businesses and how security risk shows up in their industries. \nDo Your Talents Include the Following?\nTechnical Skills and Talents\nRed & Purple Teaming\nExperience running red team engagements that emulate real-world threat actors, with a strong command of TTPs and MITRE ATT&CK. \nAbility to partner with SOC and detection engineering teams to improve detection and response. \nExperience designing threat intel-driven scenarios, including ransomware simulations. Familiarity with DORA TLPT, TIBER-EU, or CBEST is a plus. \nTradecraft & Tooling\nHands-on experience attacking Active Directory, cloud and identity platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, Entra ID, Okta), and CI/CD pipelines. \nProficiency with C2 frameworks (e.g., Mythic, Sliver, Cobalt Strike) and building custom tooling in languages like C#, Go, Rust, Python, or PowerShell. \nStrong OpSec and experience evading EDR and other monitoring tools. Exploit development or reverse engineering skills are a plus. \nNetwork & Application Penetration Testing\nExperience performing internal and external network penetration tests, including vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and privilege escalation. \nExperience testing web applications, APIs, and mobile apps, with a solid grasp of the OWASP Top 10 and tools like Burp Suite. \nAbility to look past scanner output, validate findings manually, and chain issues into real attack paths. \nAI & LLM Security\nUnderstanding of attacks against LLM-enabled apps and agents (e.g., prompt injection, data leakage, tool abuse) and interest in using AI to speed up offensive work. \nSoft Skills\nAbility to turn technical findings into clear, actionable reports and conversations for both technical teams and executives. \nCreative problem solving-finding a way forward when the obvious path is blocked. \nA track record of research, tool releases, blogs, or conference involvement (e.g., Black Hat, DEF CON, BSides) is a plus. \nYour Educational and Professional Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., CS, CE, IS, MIS, EE) or equivalent hands-on experience. \n5+ years of hands-on offensive security experience-red teaming, penetration testing, or adversary simulation-in consulting or in-house. \nStrong written and verbal communication skills, including producing clear, client-ready reports and presentations. \nCertifications such as OSCP, OSEP, OSWE, OSED, CRTO/CRTL, GXPN, GPEN, BSCP, or comparable SANS 600/700-level coursework are a plus. \nCloud security certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Security - Specialty, Microsoft AZ-500, Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer, CCSK) are a plus. \nOur Hybrid Workplace\nProtiviti practices a hybrid model, which is a combination of working in person with a purpose and working remotely.
