- Apply AI/LLM techniques to enrich attack simulations, expand test coverage, and develop novel vectors.
- Document findings clearly with actionable countermeasures; collaborate with engineering teams on timely remediation.
- Strong experience with penetration testing of modern web apps and API frameworks (REST, gRPC, etc.).
- Deep understanding of browser security, client-side attacks, and mitigation strategies.
- Proficiency in Python or Golang with the ability to build robust offensive tooling.
