Job Title: Offensive Security Engineer - Red Team The Experience • We are looking for an Offensive Security Engineer to join our Red Team, which simulates real attackers across Salesforce products, platforms, and enterprise environments. You will own complex, end-to-end adversary simulations and partner with the Red Team Director on campaign design. • With Agentforce woven into every layer of our platform, you will test how attackers could abuse AI-driven systems. You will also use AI tools to speed up scoping, documentation, and reporting, so you can spend more time on hands-on offensive work. • This role is based in San Francisco, CA or Bellevue, WA and is eligible for a hybrid work arrangement. What You'll Actually Be Doing • Design and run end-to-end red team operations that simulate real threat actors, from initial access to objective completion.

You're Our Person If... • 3+ years of hands-on experience in red teaming, penetration testing, or adversary simulation, including executing end-to-end attack campaigns. • Experience with manual exploitation, attack chaining, and custom exploit, tooling, or payload development. • Working knowledge of threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and of identity, application, cloud, and hybrid enterprise attack surfaces. • Experience bypassing layered security controls and detections, and documenting findings and remediation guidance for technical and executive audiences. Even Better If... • Published security research, such as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) credits, blog posts, or conference talks. • Experience with assumed-breach or long-running adversary emulation campaigns, and collaboration with Detection and Response or purple team functions. • Malware analysis or exploit development background, and familiarity with cloud-native architectures and identity-centric security models. • Offensive security certifications such as GIAC Exploit Researcher and Advanced Penetration Tester (GXPN), Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP), Offensive Security Experienced Penetration Tester (OSEP), Offensive Security Web Expert (OSWE
