Adversary Emulation Specialist

Adversary Emulation Specialist

We are seeking an Adversary Emulation Specialist to simulate real-world threat actor behavior and help organizations validate their defenses. In this role, you will design and execute high-fidelity emulation plans based on current attacker tradecraft, work closely with detection and response teams, and turn offensive insights into measurable defensive improvements.

What you will do
  • Design and execute adversary emulation exercises mapped to real threat groups, campaigns, and tactics

  • Develop realistic attack paths across endpoints, cloud environments, identities, and enterprise applications

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of detections, controls, incident response workflows, and security architectures

  • Collaborate with detection engineers, product teams, and customers to improve visibility and resilience

  • Build reusable tooling, automation, and test scenarios for repeatable validation

  • Produce clear technical reporting, remediation guidance, and executive-ready summaries

What we are looking for
  • Strong background in red teaming, adversary emulation, offensive security, or purple teaming

  • Deep understanding of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures across modern enterprise environments

  • Experience with command and control frameworks, credential abuse, lateral movement, persistence, privilege escalation, and defense evasion

  • Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK and threat-informed defense methodologies

  • Ability to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

  • Strong ethics, sound judgment, and a defense-first mindset

Nice to have
  • Experience in cloud attack simulation and identity-centric attack paths

  • Knowledge of detection engineering and SIEM or EDR validation

  • Security certifications or demonstrated practical offensive expertise

  • Experience supporting regulated industries or enterprise security programs

Why this role matters

This role helps move security from assumption to evidence. Your work will show whether defenses actually hold up against realistic adversary behavior, and where teams should improve next.
