Senior Red Team Engineer


Location:United States (Remote)


A global financial institution is hiring a Senior Red Team Engineer to join its internal offensive security team. This is a rare opportunity to work in a mature, highly capable global red team that focuses exclusively on real-world adversary simulation — not generic pen testing.

You’ll be responsible for leading and executing sophisticated red team operations across the bank’s global footprint. The team operates with full scope: endpoint, network, application, cloud, physical, and human-based vectors. You should bring a deep understanding of attacker tradecraft, be comfortable building your own tooling when needed, and have the mindset of someone who enjoys thinking like an adversary — not just scanning for vulnerabilities.


We’re looking for someone with real depth in at least one area of red teaming (e.g., evasive payload development, infrastructure, Windows internals, social engineering, etc.). This is a hands-on technical role, suited to someone who has already spent several years in dedicated offensive roles and wants to operate in a high-trust, high-impact environment.


What you’ll be doing:

  • Designing and delivering full kill-chain red team operations targeting enterprise assets and staff
  • Emulating real-world APT behavior, including custom tooling, C2 infrastructure, lateral movement, and exfiltration
  • Working closely with detection and response teams to test visibility and improve resilience
  • Leading campaign design, execution, and reporting, with a focus on realism and impact
  • Creating or modifying tools, exploits, and payloads as needed — not relying solely on off-the-shelf frameworks
  • Supporting threat-led testing programs and integrating threat intelligence into operations
  • Maintaining strict operational security and professional discipline in all activities


What we’re looking for:

  • 3–4+ years of true red teaming experience (not general pen testing)
  • A deep skillset in one or more areas: evasions, custom malware, cloud red teaming, physical access, phishing infrastructure, or post-exploitation
  • Strong scripting or development background (e.g., Python, Go, C#, or C)
  • Experience with major red team frameworks (e.g., Sliver, Mythic, Cobalt Strike) and a willingness to go beyond them
  • Familiarity with adversary emulation frameworks and MITRE ATT&CK
  • Exposure to social engineering or physical red teaming is a strong bonus
  • A calm, pragmatic communicator who can write clearly and explain technical risk to a non-technical audience
  • High level of personal ownership, operational maturity, and discretion


This is an opportunity to work in one of the most well-resourced offensive security programs in financial services, with global scope, freedom to innovate, and a mission-critical mandate.

How to Find Hidden Cyber Security Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, CIISec & More

The demand for skilled cyber security professionals in the UK has never been higher. With threats increasing in sophistication and frequency, organisations are urgently hiring ethical hackers, threat analysts, GRC specialists, and security architects. But many of the most valuable roles—particularly in government, defence, and critical infrastructure—are never publicly advertised. Instead, these jobs are shared behind the scenes through trusted networks, private communities, and professional bodies. In this article, we explore how to uncover hidden cyber security jobs in the UK using organisations like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), CIISec (The Chartered Institute of Information Security), ISACA, and ISC² UK Chapter. We’ll show you how to use membership directories, special interest groups, CPD events and informal networks to gain early access to roles most people never see.

How to Get a Better Cyber Security Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy is never easy—especially in a fast-moving field like cyber security, where your skills and experience are constantly evolving. But if you’ve recently been made redundant from a cyber security role, know this: the UK cyber workforce remains in high demand, and your expertise is more valuable than ever. Whether you’re a SOC analyst, penetration tester, incident responder, security architect or GRC specialist, there are still thousands of opportunities across sectors including finance, defence, government, retail, and critical infrastructure. This guide will help you turn redundancy into a career relaunch, with a clear action plan tailored to the UK cyber security job market.

Cyber Security Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Check Your Market Value in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey no longer protects you. “Could I earn more at a managed SOC?” “Is that fintech’s offer really competitive?” Every UK cyber‑security professional asks some version of those questions—usually after another colleague lands a pay rise, a recruiter sends a tempting JD, or a fresh breach makes headline news. Yet salary guides published even last year feel as out‑of‑date as a forgotten antivirus signature. Since 2024, ransomware gangs switched to double‑extortion, deepfake phishing exploded, & the EU’s NIS2/DORA regulations bled into UK contracts despite Brexit. With each shift, salary bands move. To cut through stale averages, CybersecurityJobs.tech distilled a three‑factor formula that lets you estimate a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your role, your UK region, & your seniority level. The output arms you with data‑driven leverage for your next appraisal, job application, or freelance rate card. This article explains the formula, reveals the forces pushing cyber pay ever higher, & outlines five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.
