• Weaving cutting-edge attack and defense scenarios into unforgettable training.
• Shaping the future of OffSec’s legendary certifications.

• Stay on the bleeding edge—bring emerging threats, adversarial tactics, and defense strategies into our content.

What You Bring

• 7+ years of cybersecurity + VM creation + content development experience.
• Expert wizardry in Microsoft Azure & Active Directory attack techniques, detections, and threat hunting (enumeration, escalation, lateral movement, persistence).
• Experienced in AI-assisted code development of security tooling and proof of concepts.
• Battle-tested in both bypassing AV, EDR, and modern defenses, as well as detection of bypass techniques.
• Killer communication skills—able to make the complex sound clear and captivating.
