Senior Security Automation Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Security Automation Engineer who is more than a traditional pentester — a developer at heart who understands how to orchestrate, script, and chain network and web application exploits so they run autonomously. In this role, you will design and scale automated security validation frameworks, weaponize exploits, and ensure safe execution across production environments.

Responsibilities

Design and sequence exploit chains by pairing vulnerabilities together (e.g., combining a low-severity information disclosure with an SSRF to achieve Remote Code Execution) Develop custom exploits and automate complex multi-stage authentication scripts, handling OAuth, TOTP, and MFA programmatically Configure, scale, and maintain continuous automated security validation tools such as Pentera, Cymulate, or Picus Architect and extend custom Pentest Robots frameworks to support autonomous exploit execution Perform in-depth assessments of network and web infrastructure, leveraging knowledge of the OSI model and protocols like DNS, BGP, and TCP/IP Identify and validate web application vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10 and API flaws such as IDOR Engineer automated exploit scripts that safely validate vulnerabilities without crashing live infrastructure or corrupting production databases Collaborate with threat intelligence and vulnerability management teams to prioritize and address emerging risks Contribute to threat modeling exercises to proactively identify attack paths and weaknesses Requirements 3+ years of experience in offensive security, security automation, or a related engineering role Proficiency in Python for writing custom exploits and automation tooling Expertise in exploit chaining and logic, with the ability to sequence vulnerabilities into end-to-end attack paths Deep understanding of the OSI model and core network protocols (DNS, BGP, TCP/IP) Knowledge of web application vulnerabilities, including the OWASP Top 10 and API flaws like IDOR Background in configuring and scaling automated security validation platforms such as Pentera, Cymulate, or Picus Skills in threat modeling and vulnerability management practices Familiarity with cyber threat intelligence sources and how to operationalize them into automated validation Capability to engineer safe exploit execution within live production environments without disruption Excellent command of written and spoken English (B2+ level) Nice to have Programming experience with Go and Bash for tooling and automation Understanding of OAuth flows and how to script against them Experience automating authentication against Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) systems
