Tech Lead - Penetration Testing, Red Team, Cloud, and ICS/OT

Written by the T&S Network from Alice's posting.

Manages a team of domain experts who classify cybersecurity prompts that an AI system cannot confidently call benign or malicious, covering penetration testing, red teaming, cloud security, and ICS/OT (SCADA) security. The role sets quality and routing for that intent analysis work and handles escalated edge cases that cross domains.

• AI misuse and jailbreaks

What you'd do

• Oversee the domain experts in enterprise red teaming, web app security, cloud red teaming, and ICS/OT.
• Send incoming rows to the right domain and shift freelancer hours as volume changes.
• Track agreement and disagreement rates, QA findings, and throughput, and report them to the Group Manager.
• Settle edge cases that cut across domains, working with the other Tech Lead.
• Keep annotation guidelines consistent across domains and propose updates.
• Annotate or review rows directly when needed to unblock the team.

What it asks for

• 7+ years hands-on in pentesting, red teaming, cloud, or ICS/OT, deep in at least one.
• Working grasp of ICS/OT protocols like Modbus, DNP3, S7comm, and OPC UA, plus PLC and SCADA design.
• Solid grasp of pentest, red team, and cloud attack chains, their tools, and how they show up in real breaches.
• 2+ years leading or mentoring technical specialists as a team lead, tech lead, or senior reviewer.
• Good at reading a user's aim from a short prompt and telling defensive or research use from attack prep.
• Clear written and verbal communication in English.
