## 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)
