About the role

As our Red Team Engineer, you will attack our own products the way a capable adversary would: spacecraft, ground stations, cloud command-and-control software, and the pipelines and factory processes that produce them. You will run our internal assessments, lead the outside firms we bring in, build testing tools that keep up the pressure between assessments, and bring an attacker's perspective into design reviews while there is still time to change the design. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • US Citizenship
  • 3-10 years of hands-on offensive security experience in penetration testing, red teaming, exploit development, or vulnerability research
  • Track record of building your own tools, harnesses, or automation when nothing off the shelf would do the job
  • Experience combining several smaller weaknesses into a realistic attack path
  • Solid fundamentals in operating systems, networking, and applied cryptography, and comfort reading and debugging code you have not seen before
  • Ability to own a technical project from start to finish with little direction
More about this role

Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.

For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.

Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.

We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet.
