The Role
Ready to turn your hard-earned cybersecurity mastery into world-class training that inspires and equips the next generation of defenders? Offensive Security is hunting for a Senior Content Engineer who’s equal parts cyber sorcerer, technical tinkerer, and content visionary.
This isn’t your average “sit behind a desk” gig. You’ll be:
- Crafting high-impact, hands-on labs that make learners sweat (in the best way).
- Weaving cutting-edge attack and defense scenarios into unforgettable training.
- Shaping the future of OffSec’s legendary certifications.
- Leading development of advanced and real world defensive training content and exercises.
- Leading, mentoring, and pushing your teammates to go further, faster, smarter.
If you crave a challenge, thrive in high-stakes environments, and love blending hardcore technical skill with creative content engineering—this role was built for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
Content Development
- Design and develop immersive cybersecurity training content, focusing on detection, prevention, and security analysis — equal parts brutal and brilliant.
- Mentor teammates, set the technical bar high, and refine content for maximum clarity and accuracy.
- Collaborate across teams to keep labs and learning material fresh, relevant, and seamless.
Content Engineering
- Build and oversee next-level training environments with VMs, cloud infrastructure, and automation.
- Develop and test complex and stable lab environments that provide a great learner experience.
- Troubleshoot like a pro—solving complex lab integration issues with precision and flair.
Applied Technical Expertise
- Create realistic, scenario-driven challenges that push learners out of their comfort zones.
- Validate, test, and enhance training environments with your security analysis and DFIR chops.
- Stay on the bleeding edge—bring emerging threats, adversarial tactics, and defense strategies into our content.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of cybersecurity + VM creation + content development experience.
- Expert wizardry in Microsoft Azure & Active Directory attack techniques, detections, and threat hunting (enumeration, escalation, lateral movement, persistence).
- Experienced in AI-assisted code development of security tooling and proof of concepts.
- Battle-tested in both bypassing AV, EDR, and modern defenses, as well as detection of bypass techniques.
- Killer communication skills—able to make the complex sound clear and captivating.
- Sharp research instincts: you validate, test, and translate threats into learning gold.
- Leadership vibes: proven mentor, project driver, and process improver.
- Comfortable working across global teams, cultures, and time zones.
