About the Role

World Wide Technology's Information Security organization is hiring a Senior Offensive Security Engineer to help build and mature an offensive security capability that identifies and validates real-world risk across the organization's applications, networks, and cloud infrastructure. While this role sits within the Application Security team, your scope extends well beyond applications. You'll plan and execute offensive engagements across organization-owned web applications and APIs, internal and external networks, and cloud environments, thinking like an adversary to find what automated tooling misses. Your focus is hands-on testing, retesting, and validation paired with clear, actionable reporting that helps both engineers and leadership understand and close real risk. You'll partner closely with multiple teams to drive remediation, strengthen detection, and inform testing priorities across the business. This is a role for an offensive security practitioner who wants to build a program, not just execute within one.

Collaboration & Compliance

• Collaborate across engineering, security, and GRC to drive remediation, validate findings, and inform testing prioritities

• Support compliance-driven testing requirements

• Contribute adversary-perspective input into threat modeling, architecture/design reviews, secure coding standards, and vulnerability management program

Program & Tooling

• Maintain and evolve internal testing playbooks as the program matures

• Leverage AI tools to accelerate testing workflows, analysis, and reporting

• Build, adapt, or evaluate offensive security tooling and third-party vendors to support testing and reduce manual overhead

People & Knowledge

• Mentor team members on offensive techniques, tools, and adversarial mindset

• Stay current on emerging attack techniques, CVEs, and adversary TTPs relevant to WWT's technology stack

Required Qualifications

• 5-7+ years hands-on offensive security or penetration testing experience in web application, network, and cloud environments

• Demonstrated experience designing, leading, or maturing an offensive security program or methodology

• Experience scoping and overseeing internal and third-party offensive security engagements including rules of engagement, authorization, and scope management

• Expert command of offensive security tools including Burp Suite, Kali Linux toolset, and manual exploitation techniques including bypassing modern defenses

• Hands-on Active Directory and internal network exploitation experience (e.g., Kerberoasting, delegation abuse, lateral movement, privilege escalation)

• Working knowledge of cloud attack surfaces, including IAM misconfigurations, container security, and CI/CD pipeline attacks

• Experience using AI tools to accelerate offensive security workflows

• Deep understanding of OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, CVSS and other severity scoring frameworks, and full attack-chain thinking

• Scripting and automation ability to build or extend custom tooling (e.g., Python, Bash, Powershell)

• Hands-on threat modeling experience (STRIDE, PASTA, or equivalent)

• Understanding of secure handling, storage, and reporting of sensitive engagement data and findings

• Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication - able to explain and document security risk and remediation credibly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Programming experience beyond scripting for exploit development or evasion tooling (C/C++, JavaScript, Go, Python)

• Working knowledge of SAST, DAST, SCA, and vulnerability management tooling

• Experience building or maintaining offensive security testing playbooks

• Familiarity with compliance frameworks and compliance-driven testing requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.)

• Track record of mentoring team members
