• Own a functional area on the Red Team (e.g., detection engineering partnership, threat intelligence integration, tooling, response collaboration) and drive it forward
• Produce high-quality engagement reports with sufficient background, context, and actionable recommendations for both technical and leadership audiences
• Mentor and develop other engineers on the team by overseeing engagements, providing report reviews, and raising the technical bar
• Proactively identify valuable engagement targets and drive their prioritization through understanding of Amazon’s threat landscape and business context
• Collaborate with detection engineering, incident response, and security leadership to translate offensive findings into defensive improvements
• Develop and maintain offensive tooling, automation, and methodologies that improve team efficiency

• 2+ years of experience leading or technically directing multi-person offensive engagements
• Experience leading multi-week adversary emulation campaigns from scoping through remediation
• Experience identifying and driving resolution of systemic security issues across organizational boundaries
• Experience with cloud-native red teaming (AWS, Azure, or GCP attack paths, privilege escalation, cross-account lateral movement)
• Experience assessing or attacking AI/ML systems (prompt injection, agent manipulation, model extraction, training data poisoning, RAG exploitation)
• Experience leveraging AI/ML for offensive purposes (automated recon, exploit development, payload generation, building offensive agents)
• Published security research, CVEs, conference talks, or open-source offensive tooling
