About the Job
Have you earned your OSCP, OSEP/OSED/OSWE, and gained offensive experience before and/or since then? Are you excited at the opportunity to contribute to the growth and education for the current and next generation of cybersecurity professionals?
If the idea of building lab environments, to provide hands-on experience for individuals to learn and upskill, then this might be the right role for you!
Duties and Responsibilities
Content design and build
Researches and identifies topical, relevant attack vectors suitable for inclusion in OffSec labs, exams, and/or learning content
Design and build VMs and multi-host environments from vectors across Linux and Windows, including Active Directory and Cloud attack paths
Designs realistic scenarios and environment narratives that make each attack path plausible and discoverable through enumeration
Ensures the range of vectors in each environment is appropriate to its stated difficulty level and learning objectives
Maintains variety across the catalogue so that content remains distinct as it rotates through active use
Quality, integrity, and reproducibility
Review labs for unintended solution paths and confirms each is solvable by the intended route within its expected time frame
Validates that machines are deterministic and reproducible in an isolated environment, including reliable reset and revert behaviour
Deliberate selection and use of software and OS versions, monitoring deployed components so that content behaves consistently over its lifetime
Documents the steps required to complete each machine, with difficulty assessed at a level of detail that supports competency mapping and certification review
Collaboration
Coordinates with the relevant team(s) to deploy, update, and retire content
Coordinates with testing to ensure full coverage of both newly created and updated content
Coordinates with the Lab team Manager and Content Architect on vector selection and exploit implementation within courses and learning paths

Acts as a technical reviewer for lab concepts and builds produced by other Vulnerable Machine Engineers and community contributors, providing structured, actionable feedback

Automation and tooling
Creates and maintains automation that makes lab creation timely, consistent, and repeatable
Evaluates new and emerging technologies to make recommendations on their introduction into the lab estate
