Security Engineer - Offensive Security
Stripe
Role Description As an Offensive Security Engineer on the Proactive Threat team, you will simulate the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of real-world adversaries to uncover security risks across Stripe's products and infrastructure. You'll conduct hands-on penetration testing, lead red team engagements, and collaborate with blue team counterparts to validate and improve detection and response capabilities. Your work will directly influence how Stripe builds, ships, and secures financial infrastructure used by millions of businesses worldwide. Beyond assessments, you'll design and build offensive tooling and automation that amplifies the team's impact. You'll leverage threat intelligence to prioritize testing efforts, contribute to incident investigations when needed, and act as a subject-matter expert for security initiatives across the company. Responsibilities - Conduct comprehensive penetration tests across web applications, APIs, cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure), mobile applications, and internal infrastructure. - Plan and execute red team engagements that emulate the TTPs of cyber and criminal threat actors targeting financial services, including initial access, lateral movement, persistence, and data exfiltration scenarios. - Perform assumed-breach and objective-based assessments to test detection and response capabilities in coordination with defensive teams. - Partner with detection engineering, threat intelligence, and incident response teams to validate security controls, identify coverage gaps, and improve detection fidelity. - Contribute adversary tradecraft insights to inform detection rule development, threat hunting hypotheses, and incident response playbooks. - Support incident investigations by providing offensive expertise, log analysis, and root cause analysis when required. - Design, develop, and maintain custom offensive tools, scripts, and automation frameworks to enhance assessment efficiency and coverage. - Build internal platforms and workflows that enable scalable, repeatable offensive operations. - Contribute to internal security tooling repositories and champion engineering best practices within the team. - Automate repetitive testing tasks, payload generation, and reporting workflows using modern development practices. - Produce clear, actionable reports that communicate technical findings, business risk, and remediation guidance to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Act as a subject-matter expert and primary point of contact for stakeholder teams engaged in offensive security programs and Stripe-wide security initiatives. - Lead offensive security projects end-to-end, mentor junior team members, and foster a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing. - Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and attack techniques; share research internally and contribute to the broader security community. Qualifications - 5+ years of experience in offensive security, penetration testing, red teaming, or a related field. - Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or similar languages, with demonstrated experience building tools, automation, or custom exploits. - Deep knowledge of web application security, including OWASP Top 10, ASVS, and common vulnerability classes (injection, auth flaws, business logic, etc.). - Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including cloud-native attack techniques and misconfigurations. - Proficiency with offensive tooling such as Burp Suite, Cobalt Strike, Mythic, Sliver, BloodHound, or similar frameworks. - Familiarity with adversary tradecraft and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, including TTPs for initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and exfiltration. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, risk-based recommendations. - Ability to think like an adversary — creative, persistent, and able to holistically assess risk in complex environments. Preferred Qualifications - Experience conducting offensive security in fintech, financial services, or other highly regulated environments. - Background in vulnerability research, exploit development, or CVE discovery. - Experience collaborating with threat intelligence, detection engineering, or incident response teams (purple team operations). - Familiarity with big data and log analysis tools (Splunk, Databricks, PySpark, osquery, etc.) for threat hunting or investigative support. - Proficiency with AI/LLM-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) and experience applying them to offensive security workflows. - Interest or experience in agentic automation — using LLMs or autonomous agents to augment reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, or exploitation workflows. - Experience testing AI/ML systems or LLM-based applications for security weaknesses (prompt injection, training data extraction, model manipulation, etc.). - Contributions to open-source security tools, published research, blog posts, or conference presentations. - Relevant certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, OSED, CRTO, CPTS, PNPT, GXPN, or cloud security certifications.

Role Description You will design, build, and maintain detections that identify malicious activity across Stripe's infrastructure, applications, and cloud environments. You'll leverage your understanding of attacker TTPs — from initial access through exfiltration — to develop detection logic that catches real threats while minimizing noise. Beyond writing detections, you'll conduct threat hunts, perform malware analysis, and build automation that enables detection engineering at scale. Responsibilities - Design, build, and tune high-fidelity detections across modern SIEM platforms, covering adversary TTPs across the full attack lifecycle. - Develop detection hypotheses by researching TTPs, identifying evidence sources, and determining detection opportunities across available telemetry. - Conduct hypothesis-driven threat hunts to identify malicious activity, uncover detection gaps, and validate security controls. - Perform malware analysis and reverse engineering to extract indicators and inform detection strategies. - Build network-based detections (flow, pcap, protocol analysis) and endpoint-based detections (event logs, EDR telemetry, memory/file artifacts) across Windows, Linux, and macOS. - Partner with Threat Intelligence to operationalize intel reports into detections, hunting leads, and enrichment logic. - Collaborate with IR, SOC, and offensive security teams to validate and refine detections based on real-world incidents and red team exercises. - Build data pipelines, automation, and tooling that enable detection-as-code practices and scalable deployment. - Map detection coverage to MITRE ATT&CK, identifying and prioritizing gaps across key attack surfaces. - Lead projects, mentor teammates, and champion quality standards within the team. Qualifications - 5+ years of experience in detection engineering, threat hunting, or security operations. - Demonstrated experience writing detection logic in modern SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, Chronicle, Elastic, CrowdStrike NG-SIEM, Panther, Microsoft Sentinel). - Strong understanding of adversary tradecraft across the attack lifecycle: initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement, defense evasion, persistence, and exfiltration. - Ability to extract TTPs from threat intelligence reports and translate them into detection opportunities. - Experience developing network-based and endpoint-based detections across multiple OS platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS). - Experience analyzing telemetry across endpoint, network, cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), identity, and application log sources. - Proficiency in detection/query languages (SPL, KQL, EQL, YARA-L, SQL) and programming (Python or similar). - Strong communication skills with the ability to document detection logic and explain findings to technical and non-technical audiences. - Adversarial mindset — understanding how attackers operate to build detections that catch real-world threats. Preferred Qualifications - Experience in detection engineering or threat hunting within fintech, financial services, or highly regulated environments. - Background in malware analysis, reverse engineering, or threat research. - Experience with purple team operations — collaborating with offensive security to validate detections. - Familiarity with big data platforms (Databricks, Trino, PySpark) for large-scale log analysis. - Proficiency with AI/LLM-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) applied to detection workflows. - Interest in agentic automation — using LLMs to augment hunting, tuning, or triage. - Experience with detection validation tools (Atomic Red Team, ATT&CK Evaluations). - Contributions to open-source detection content, research, or conference presentations. - Relevant certifications such as HTB CDSA, GCIH, GCFA, GNFA, OSCP, TCM PMAT, or GREM.
