Red Team Operator Cyber Security

Red Team Operator London / WFH to £80k

Opportunity to progress your career at a rapidly scaling technology company that provides a fully managed IT service including security.

As a Red Team Operator you'll be conducting approved adversary simulation, red team and assumed breach engagements for a range of clients. You'll work with clients to scope objectives and threat scenarios, then plan and execute realistic operations within agreed rules of engagement.

The role combines hands-on offensive security with research, problem solving and operational tradecraft. You'll build and manage red team infrastructure, develop custom tooling, research emerging TTPs and adapt your approach when conventional techniques aren't effective.

You'll operate across Windows, Linux, networks, cloud and enterprise identity environments, with a strong focus on OPSEC, stealth, detection risk and controlled execution.

You'll use a broad range of industry standard, open source, commercial and in-house tooling across reconnaissance, web application testing, initial access, command and control, Active Directory, cloud and identity testing. You'll also modify existing tools or develop lightweight scripts and capabilities where standard tooling is unsuitable. Training will be provided on the organisation's in-house platform.

Beyond technical execution, you'll document operations and timelines thoroughly, contribute to client deliverables and support client facing debriefs. You'll work closely with engagement leads, technical teams and client stakeholders, while helping less experienced team members develop their skills through coaching and mentoring.

Location / WFH:
