Red Team Security Engineer

### **Description** At Sabio Group, we build and operate AI\-powered customer experience platforms for some of the world's most demanding enterprise brands. As we push deeper into agentic AI, multi\-cloud architectures and high\-volume conversational systems, the attack surface evolves with us — and we need people who can think like adversaries to keep our customers, our data and our reputation safe. We're hiring a **Red Team Security Engineer** to join our Information Security \& Cyber Security team in South Africa. You'll be the offensive counterpart to our defensive function: stress\-testing the solutions we design, build and operate — from cloud\-native services to LLM\-powered agents — by attacking them the way a real adversary would, and partnering with engineering teams to fix what you find. This is a hands\-on role for someone who is genuinely curious about how systems break, comfortable writing code as well as reading it, and excited about the new class of vulnerabilities emerging in AI and agentic systems.### **Key Responsibilities** **Offensive Security \& Red Teaming*** Plan and execute red team engagements, penetration tests and adversary simulations against our platforms, products and corporate environment. * Identify, exploit and document vulnerabilities across web applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, identity systems and AI/LLM\-based services. * Develop realistic attack scenarios — initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement, data exfiltration — mapped to frameworks such as MITRE ATT\&CK. * Build and maintain custom tooling, exploits and automation where off\-the\-shelf tools fall short. * Leverage AI pen testing tooling and frameworks as a force amplifier within your role. **AI Powered Security Tooling \& Frameworks*** Active, hands\-on use of **AI\-powered offensive security tooling** as a core part of your workflow — leveraging LLMs and agentic assistants to accelerate reconnaissance, exploit development, code review, payload generation and report writing. * Familiarity with emerging **AI red\-team frameworks and platforms** — e.g. PyRIT, Garak, Promptfoo, NVIDIA Aegis, Microsoft Counterfit, HackerOne / Bugcrowd AI testing toolkits, or equivalent — and a practical sense of when to use which. * Experience building or extending **automated AI red\-team harnesses**: prompt\-injection test suites, jailbreak corpora, tool\-abuse scenarios, multi\-turn attack agents, and regression eval sets for LLM and agentic systems. * Pragmatic judgement on the **limits and risks of AI\-assisted offensive work** — hallucinated findings, false confidence, data leakage into third\-party models — and the discipline to validate AI output before acting on it. * Curiosity to keep pace with a fast\-moving space: new models, new attack techniques, new defensive controls — and a willingness to bring those learnings back into the team. **AI \& Agentic System Security*** Probe LLM\-powered and agentic systems for prompt injection,...
