Technical Lead

Who you are

• Deep, hands-on red-team and penetration-testing experience at a top-tier engineering organization (e.g., Block, Stripe, Anthropic, Google, AWS)
• Strong reverse engineering skills (Ghidra, IDA Pro, or Binary Ninja) and a track record of finding and weaponizing real vulnerabilities
• Proficiency building offensive tooling in Python, Go, or C/C++ and leveraging AI to accelerate offensive work
• Ability to operate fully autonomously — set strategy and own outcomes without a team beneath you at the start
• Must be a U.S. person under ITAR (see requirements below)
• Hardware, embedded, or OT/ICS security experience (JTAG/UART, firmware extraction, industrial protocols)
• Recognized external presence — talks at DEF CON, Black Hat, or Recon, and published research or CVEs
• Experience attacking or securing AI and agentic systems
• Background in aerospace, defense, robotics, or manufacturing
• Experience standing up a red team or offensive program from zero

What the job involves

• As our Tech Lead overseeing Offensive Security, you will build and lead Hadrian’s offensive security capability from the ground up
• Hadrian’s software-defined, ITAR-controlled factories are a high-value target, and your job is to find what an adversary would find first — across our manufacturing software, robotics and OT, cloud, corporate systems, physical devices, and AI
• This is a hands-on principal role for someone who has done elite red-team work and wants to own an entire offensive function
• Build and run Hadrian’s offensive security function: red-team operations, penetration testing, and adversary emulation across software, robotics/OT, cloud, and physical devices
• Perform reverse engineering and vulnerability research on firmware, embedded controllers, and third-party components in our manufacturing environment
• Develop AI-driven offensive tooling to scale coverage, and assess the security of Hadrian’s own AI and autonomy systems
• Drive findings to remediation with engineering and the blue team, run purple-team exercises, and measure risk reduction over time
• Represent Hadrian’s security posture to customers, auditors, and DoD stakeholders

Benefits

• 100% coverage of platinum medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees 401k
• Relocation stipend if you’re moving from outside of LA
• Flexible vacation policy
