Leadership & Team Development

Lead, coach, and grow a team of Attack Engineers and backend engineers focused on internal network attacks, from Active Directory to Linux hosts, databases, and network infrastructure.

Own hiring for the team: shape the open roles, run interview loops, and close strong offensive and backend engineers in a competitive market.

Set clear expectations by level, give direct and timely feedback, run 1:1s and performance reviews, and build growth plans that move engineers to the next level.

Develop technical leaders on the team, including Staff and Principal engineers, so that domain expertise and review ownership are shared rather than held by one person.

Be accountable for the performance and quality of the team's work and for keeping it aligned with Product and Engineering goals.

Internal Attack Strategy & Execution

Define the team's strategy and roadmap for internal and AD attack coverage, tied to department goals, real customer environments, and emerging tradecraft.

Drive coverage for modern, hardened environments: attacks that still succeed under NTLM deprecation, enforced SMB and LDAP signing, Kerberos-only authentication, Protected Users, and tiered administration.

Guide work across the internal attack chain: credential access, Kerberos and delegation abuse, NTLM coercion and relay, AD Certificate Services, SCCM and other management planes, ACL and GPO abuse, lateral movement, and hybrid identity pivots into Entra ID.

Guide coverage beyond Active Directory: Linux and Unix hosts (SSH, NFS), databases (MSSQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle, Elasticsearch), and network infrastructure and embedded devices (SNMP, Cisco, Juniper, printers, IP cameras).

Own the discovery foundation the rest of the attack chain depends on: host discovery, service and OS fingerprinting, and credential and secrets discovery across hosts and file shares, at the scale of networks with hundreds of thousands of addresses.
