<h2><strong>About the Role</strong></h2>
<p>Rubrik Zero Labs is building a platform that allows enterprises to run safe, high-fidelity cyber-attack simulations to prove their recovery readiness. We are seeking a Staff Security Engineer to lead our <strong>Adversary Emulation Program</strong>.

<li><strong>Playbook Development:</strong> Design and author automated attack logic using Ansible, Python, and YAML.</li>
<li><strong>Scenario Engineering:</strong> Create "Scenario Manifests" that define the blast radius, risk level, and success criteria for simulations.</li>
<li><strong>Safety Guardrails:</strong> Develop rigorous "Circuit Breaker" logic to ensure simulations remain strictly within isolated recovery environments (IREs) and never impact production data.</li>
</ul>
<strong> Resilience Mapping:</strong> Map RZL simulations to the MITRE ATTCK framework and Rubrik-specific recovery checkpoints.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Experience you'll need</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">

<li><strong>Multi-Domain Knowledge:</strong> Deep understanding of OS internals (Windows/Linux), Database structures, and Cloud Identity providers.</li>
<li><strong>Safety Mindset:</strong> Proven experience building offensive tools that operate in "production-adjacent" environments with strict safety requirements.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Certifications (Preferred):</strong> OSCP, OSCE, or equivalent practical experience.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Security certifications like <strong>GCIH, GCFA, OSCP, or AWS Security</strong> are a plus.</span></p><div class="content-conclusion"><h2>Join Us in Securing the World's Data</h2>
