Job Description

A successful Cloud Penetration Tester - Red Team at Mandiant should possess a deep understanding of both information security and computer science. They should understand basic concepts such as cloud networking, identity and access management, console, applications, functions, and other functionality and be able to learn advanced concepts such as application manipulation, exploit development, and stealth-focused operations. This is not a “press the ‘pwn’ button” type of job; this career is technical and challenging with opportunities to work in some of the most exciting areas of security consulting on extremely technical and challenging work. A typical job could be breaking into a web application hosted in the cloud, accessing sensitive information or compromising the environment, all without being detected. If you can exploit at scale while remaining stealthy, identify and exploit misconfigurations in cloud infrastructure, parse various types of output data, present relevant data in a digestible manner, think well outside the box, or are astute enough to quickly learn these skills, then you’re the type of consultant we’re looking for.

At Mandiant, you’ll be faced with complex problem-solving opportunities and hands-on testing opportunities on a daily basis. We help our clients protect their most sensitive and valuable data through comprehensive and real-world scenario testing. The objective doesn’t end at gaining “global admin” or “root”; this is expected and is only the starting point.

You are expected to quickly assimilate new information as you will face new client environments on a recurring basis. You will be expected to understand the applicable threat vectors for each environment and assess them properly. You will get to work with some of the best red teamers in the industry, enabling you to develop new skills as you progress through your career. Are you up to the challenge?
