Staff Attack Engineer

Role Description

We're looking for an Attack Engineer with deep Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) expertise to help build the next generation of cloud attack capabilities within NodeZero. This is a highly strategic role. As OCI adoption continues to grow among large enterprises, government organizations, and AI-focused infrastructure providers, our customers are increasingly asking for deeper OCI coverage.

You'll join our NodeZero Attack team and take ownership of building OCI attack content from the ground up. You'll:

• Research Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services and identify offensive security opportunities across the platform.
• Develop new attack techniques, attack paths, and security assessments targeting OCI environments.
• Build and maintain production-quality Python code that powers NodeZero attack capabilities.
• Conduct offensive security research against OCI compute, networking, storage, databases, IAM, Kubernetes, and cloud-native services.
• Analyze real-world OCI deployments to identify common attack vectors and customer risk patterns.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers, attack engineers, and offensive security SMEs to bring new capabilities into production.
• Document research findings, attack methodologies, and technical design decisions.
• Help prioritize future OCI attack coverage based on customer demand and emerging threats.
• Contribute to the technical direction of NodeZero's cloud attack capabilities.

Qualifications

• Hands-on offensive security experience targeting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
• Strong understanding of cloud attack paths and cloud-native security concepts.
• Experience with web application testing, cloud penetration testing, external assessments, or red team operations.
• Experience writing Python code for automation, tooling, or offensive security workflows.
• Ability to independently research unfamiliar technologies and rapidly become an expert.
• Strong written communication and technical documentation skills.
• Passion for building products, not just finding vulnerabilities.
• 10+ years of professional software engineering and/or offensive security experience.

Requirements

• Experience attacking OCI Kubernetes Engine (OKE).
• Experience with cloud privilege escalation and identity attacks.
• Experience developing offensive security tooling.
• Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or GCP offensive security.
• Experience integrating security research into production software.
• Knowledge of vulnerability management and attack path analysis.

Benefits

• Inclusive Team: We value diversity and promote an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.
• Growth Opportunities: Be part of a dynamic and growing team with numerous career development opportunities.
• Innovative Culture: Work in a collaborative environment that encourages creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.
• Hybrid & Remote Work: We embrace a mix of remote and hybrid work models depending on role and location.
• Competitive Compensation: We offer competitive salary, equity, and benefits including health, vision & dental insurance for you and your family, a flexible vacation policy, and generous parental leave.
