• Conduct adversary emulation exercises against internal and office endpoints to validate the effectiveness of EDR, XDR, and SOC monitoring platforms.
• Evaluate the security posture of physical office hardware, corporate network equipment, and internal edge infrastructure.
• Perform scoped offensive testing on external-facing web applications and limited, public-facing API endpoints.
• Translate external discovery, DNS security posture, network access control weaknesses, and EDR emulation findings into repeatable defensive checks.
• Support our Purple Team validate that EDR policies, perimeter controls, firewall rules, and network segmentation work as expected.
• Document multi-stage network or system exploitation chains to provide practical, reproducible remediation blueprints for infrastructure and SOC teams.
• Support IT and Network analysts with clear vulnerability descriptions, triage steps, severity logic, and escalation guidance.
• Improve external asset tracking, perimeter health records, and exposure trend mapping.
• Track external vulnerability gaps, emulation success rates, remediation times, asset health, and perimeter exposure.

• Experience in offensive security, perimeter penetration testing, network security assessments, or adversary emulation.
• Strong understanding of external asset discovery, DNS configuration vulnerabilities, and public IP network routing.
• Practical experience auditing and testing Linux and Windows environments and underlying network services.
• Ability to perform adversary emulation and bypass techniques against modern EDR/XDR solutions.
• Familiarity with testing physical office network hardware, routers, switches, firewalls, and workplace IT systems.
• Ability to turn external exposures and technical network risks into clear, actionable fixes for IT and Security teams.
• Experience with core web vulnerabilities and limited, scoped testing of modern API interfaces.
• Strong scripting ability in Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar to automate perimeter mapping, emulation workflows, and asset discovery.
• Good understanding of scanning, reconnaissance, and interception tools.
• Strong documentation skills.
