Join Us as an Active Directory Remediation Engineer

Are you passionate about outsmarting attackers and securing the backbone of enterprise identity?

If you love digging into BloodHound Enterprise graphs, eliminating choke points, and collaborating with red and blue teams to harden environments-this role is for you.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be the go-to expert for securing our Active Directory and EntraID/Azure ecosystems. Your mission: hunt down vulnerabilities, dismantle attack paths, and raise the bar for identity security.

Red Team Support: Assist offensive security teams with BloodHound-driven assessments

Blue + Red Team Collaboration: Work across teams to close gaps from both offensive and defensive angles

Tool Ownership: Manage BloodHound Enterprise, including SharpHound and AzureHound data collection

Continuous Learning: Stay sharp on evolving AD attack techniques like ADCS, NTLM Relaying, Coercion, and CAP bypasses

You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
