About the role

  • A typical day: reviewing results from overnight autonomous testing campaigns, chaining minor vulnerabilities into high-impact proof-of-concept exploits, or handing validated attack playbooks to the CISO's Red Team.
  • You won't write reports that sit in a queue.
  • This is a greenfield offensive security unit within Product Security Engineering, reporting to the Director of Engineering Product Security.

Responsibilities

  • You will translate adversarial findings into secure design improvements that change how engineering builds software.
  • You will build and lead a continuous adversarial testing program against SailPoint's next-generation Atlas Platform, using frontier AI as a force multiplier, not a novelty.
  • 30 Days - Assess & Design
  • 60 Days - Build & Prepare

Requirements

  • 5+ years of offensive security experience with at least 2 years in a team lead or management role
  • Demonstrated experience with agentic or AI-powered offensive security tooling in a production program
  • Hands-on proficiency in at least two of: application pen testing, source code security review, cloud security assessment, AI/LLM adversarial testing
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience

Nice to have

  • authentication flow weaknesses, authorization logic flaws, entitlement calculation errors, and tenant isolation failures.
  • AI/LLM attack surface expertise.
  • You have tested adversarial attacks against AI systems, prompt injection, goal redirection, RAG poisoning, model supply chain compromise, or agentic scope escape.
  • You know OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, MITRE ATLAS, and NIST AI RMF as applied to offensive testing.
  • Chain analysis and multi-step exploitation thinking.
  • You think in attack paths, not individual findings.
  • When you find a medium-severity issue, your instinct is to ask what it enables when combined, not to file it and move on.
  • You write exploitation narratives that a VP of Engineering reads and acts on.

Company info

  • Complete a comprehensive review of the identity platform architecture, existing security practices, and current attack surface.
  • Outline the optimal Red Team structure and identify critical hires based on the program's mandate for agentic AI and continuous testing.
  • Deliver an initial strategic vision and program roadmap, clearly distinguishing this program from traditional penetration testing.
  • Open recruiting pipelines and begin actively sourcing, screening, and extending offers for initial Red Team members.
  • Draft rules of engagement in collaboration with Product Security and Engineering leadership.
  • Complete a preliminary attack surface map of the core identity platform, prioritizing AI product features and agentic orchestration layers.
  • Formalize the CISO Red Team partnership with a quarterly cadence for method transfer, tooling configurations, and attack playbooks.
  • Formally define initial scope and target areas, prioritizing identity platform core and AI features.
  • Select, deploy, and configure at least one agentic offensive security platform for autonomous source code analysis or vulnerability chaining.
  • Plan and execute the first short-cycle adversarial campaign, establishing initial operational processes.
  • Stand up preliminary threat intelligence integration for identity platforms, SaaS infrastructure, and AI/ML attack techniques.
  • At least 50% of target headcount onboarded and actively contributing to adversarial campaigns with demonstrated proficiency in agentic AI tooling.
  • Minimum three distinct continuous adversarial campaigns executed, including dedicated AI product feature testing, producing actionable findings.
  • Minimum two detailed exploitation narratives resulting in concrete secure design improvements or SSDLC changes by engineering teams.
  • CISO Red Team proving ground fully established, including at least one joint adversarial exercise completed.
  • Full team operational capacity with agentic AI as a core capability, not a supplement.
  • Overnight autonomous campaigns running continuously, delivering prioritized findings daily at 3-5x coverage of team size.
  • Measurable reduction in high-severity vulnerabilities driven by Red Team findings feeding secure design improvements, threat model updates, and SSDLC enhancements.
  • Attack methodology continuously reflecting current real-world TTPs, APT campaigns targeting identity providers, supply chain compromise vectors, and emerging AI-specific attack techniques.
  • 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan with company matching
