Role
Who you are
- Technical Background: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or related field
- Cybersecurity Experience: At least 7 years in offensive or adversarial security (red teaming, pentesting, exploit development), including 3+ years leading technical teams or high-impact assessments
- AI-Aware Security Mindset: Deep interest or hands-on experience in securing AI/LLM systems — including prompt injection, agent manipulation, adversarial inputs, and dynamic UI risks
- Cloud & DevSecOps Knowledge: Proficiency in secure CI/CD practices, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-native security (Azure preferred). Experience implementing security automation in pipelines
- Programming & Scripting: Strong scripting/coding skills (e.g. Python, PowerShell) to build tools and automate testing. Familiarity with fuzzing, static analysis, or LLM-based automation is a plus
- Security Tooling: Experience with common offensive security tools (e.g. Burp, Nmap, BloodHound, Metasploit), and optionally deeper tools like IDA/Ghidra, fuzzers, or threat emulators
- Client Engagement & Communication: Ability to clearly present technical findings and risk models to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership. Strong writing and storytelling skills
- Strategic Vision: Capacity to look beyond immediate findings and advise clients on long-term defense improvements and architectural design
- Language: Fluent English (B2 minimum). Spanish is a plus. Certifications (OSCP, CRTO, GIAC, etc.) are valued but not mandatory
What the job involves
- At Plain Security Studios, we’re reshaping how organizations test, secure, and evolve their cyber defense strategies using AI. As Lead Defensive AI Security, you’ll lead the transformation of red teaming, adversarial testing, and secure development practices for next-generation environments — from LLM applications to CI/CD pipelines
- You will report directly to the VP of Plain Security and lead a growing team of specialists focused on Offensive AI and DevSecAIOps
- Your role will be both strategic and hands-on: helping clients build safer AI systems, improving their ability to prevent and detect threats, and embedding security directly into their engineering workflows
- If you’ve been part of the red team, the blue team, or built both sides into one, this is your chance to define what modern defensive security looks like in the age of AI
- Offensive AI Strategy & Delivery: Lead the design and execution of AI-augmented red and purple team operations. Simulate real-world attacks to uncover risks in LLM-based applications, AI pipelines, and modern cloud environments
- Adversarial Testing of AI Systems: Develop and apply methodologies to assess prompt injection, data leakage, insecure agents, and other vulnerabilities in AI-driven software. Bring an attacker’s mindset to our clients’ most advanced systems
- DevSecOps & Automation: Help clients integrate security into the development lifecycle. Lead secure-by-design initiatives, threat modeling, and build automated security checks into CI/CD environments using modern tooling (Azure, GitHub, etc.)
- Client Advisory & Innovation Enablement: Partner with product, AI, and engineering teams to improve their security posture without slowing down innovation. Translate red team insights into actionable improvements for developers, architects, and CISOs
- Tooling & Reusability: Build automation, scripts, and AI-based security tools to accelerate assessments. Leverage LLMs or security copilots to scale red team insights across environments and clients
- Evangelism & Enablement: Create internal frameworks, methodologies, and reusable templates for offensive assessments. Share best practices across the studio and help less experienced teams apply offensive techniques
- Knowledge Sharing: Keep your team and clients up to date on threat actor TTPs, novel attack chains, and defense strategies. Identify opportunities to evolve legacy assessments into modern, AI-aware techniques
- Strategic Mentorship: Grow and guide a cross-disciplinary team of consultants. Foster a culture of curiosity, excellence, and continuous learning
Application process
- The selection process: Simple, just 3 steps

Our take
The world is experiencing an exponential rate of technological innovation, resulting in dramatic changes within business environments. Companies are racing to leverage robotics, AI, advanced data analytics, and other cutting-edge innovations to future-proof themselves against competitors, but this is impossible without the right teams of specialist experts and consultancy relationships.
Plain Concepts provides technological innovation consultancy and solutions, offering businesses access to teams of technical experts and consultants, developers, and white-label solutions to help them compete in today’s modern technological landscape. The company develops a wide range of products specialized in different areas of innovation, such as its Sidra data analytics platform, its Spot Boston Dynamics robotics, and its Smart Concepts augmented reality solutions.
Today’s rapidly developing technological landscape is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate, and Plain Concepts recognizes that not every business has the resources to develop bespoke products and access the necessary expertise to keep up. By unifying its consultation services and white-label products, the company aims to equip businesses with the technology they need to futureproof themselves within their industry.
