About Hadrian

Hadrian is rebuilding America’s industrial strength, rapidly scaling our country’s manufacturing output through advanced software, automation, and human skill. Backed by a16z, Founders Fund and Lux.

About the role

As our Tech Lead overseeing Offensive Security, you will build and lead Hadrian’s offensive security capability from the ground up. Hadrian’s software-defined, ITAR-controlled factories are a high-value target, and your job is to find what an adversary would find first — across our manufacturing software, robotics and OT, cloud, corporate systems, physical devices, and AI. This is a hands-on principal role for someone who has done elite red-team work and wants to own an entire offensive function.

What they're looking for

  • Deep, hands-on red-team and penetration-testing experience at a top-tier engineering organization (e.g., Block, Stripe, Anthropic, Google, AWS)
  • Strong reverse engineering skills (Ghidra, IDA Pro, or Binary Ninja) and a track record of finding and weaponizing real vulnerabilities
  • Proficiency building offensive tooling in Python, Go, or C/C++ and leveraging AI to accelerate offensive work
  • Ability to operate fully autonomously — set strategy and own outcomes without a team beneath you at the start
  • Must be a U.S. person under ITAR (see requirements below)
