About the role

Dark Wolf is seeking an elite Red Team Operator to join our pack.
In this role, you will serve as a high-impact, strategic catalyst for a broader Cyber Purple Team initiative, bridging the gap between offensive operations and defensive engineering.
You will move beyond passive security to actively harden defenses, identify hidden vulnerabilities, and provide actionable insights to fortify critical infrastructure.

Research, develop, and maintain custom offensive toolsets, including C2 frameworks, initial access payloads, and post-exploitation modules
Provide real-world offensive intelligence essential for stress-testing and refining defensive counter-measures. Directly support the evaluation of the Manticore and Kraken security platforms to elevate the organization's collective security posture
Conduct deep-dive analysis into modern defensive technologies (AMSI, ETW, Kernel-level monitoring) to develop novel bypass techniques against state-of-the-art Blue Team detection stacks

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity or related field
6 minimum years proficiency in low-level languages for tool development and memory injection (C, C++, Go, Rust) as well as scripting languages (Python, PowerShell)
Required Certifications: Must meet DoDM 8140 / IAWD 8570 IAT Level II minimum requirements
DevOps Mindset: Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) to rapidly deploy and tear down operational environments.
The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a technical specialist who thinks like an engineer but acts like an adversary.
You are someone who isn't satisfied with using "off-the-shelf" tools and prefers to understand the underlying code to modify it for specific mission requirements.
In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) to rapidly deploy and tear down operational environments.

Deep understanding of Windows Internals (PE format, API hooking, process hollowing), Linux, and/or Cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP) from an offensive perspective
Proven experience reverse-engineering embedded/specialized systems and transforming proof-of-concept (PoC) code into stable, operationally ready exploits
Deep familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK® framework and the ability to emulate the full lifecycle of an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)
US Citizenship and active Top Secret security clearance
