Mission Develop and evolve an autonomous pentesting platform based on agentic systems, integrated within the Offensive Security domain—specifically the Offensive Engineering and Innovation team—ensuring systems are effective, controllable, and capable of producing relevant and reliable outputs in real-world penetration testing scenarios.   Role Context This role sits within the Offensive Engineering and Innovation team, responsible for creating new technical capabilities that extend and scale offensive security services. The platform aims to automate significant parts of the pentesting lifecycle, aligned with methodologies such as the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG), leveraging agents, LLMs, and integrations with existing security tooling. This is not an isolated experimental initiative. It is a production-oriented capability with direct application in delivery environments.   Responsibilities Define and evolve the architecture of autonomous pentesting agents Develop controlled execution pipelines (tasking, tool usage, feedback loops) Design and improve mechanisms for: Planning State management Tool usage orchestration Validation and control of agent execution Integrate and optimize LLM-based systems within agent workflows Define and validate tool-calling interfaces and integrations with pentesting tools Ensure alignment with established methodologies (e.g., OWASP WSTG) Test and validate agent behavior in real-world scenarios Identify, analyze, and mitigate system failures and edge cases Contribute to internal standards, engineering practices, and design patterns
