WHO WE ARE

The cyber sector is always evolving, and our Advisory, Testing, Incident Response and Forensics practices are in more demand than

ever.

We’re building a team to meet this challenge. We’re quick to respond, innovate, and improve. We don’t get too hung up on

hierarchy or bureaucracy. If your ideas are good enough, we’ll empower you to implement them.

We also don’t believe there’s a typical cybersecurity professional. We’ve built a team of intelligence analysts, technical

specialists, software developers, investigators, risk managers, and more. You’ll always find a range of perspectives and expertise

to draw on and help you grow.

If that sounds like your kind of team, we’d like to hear from you.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a German speaking consultant to join our Cyber Incident Response team as an Engagement Lead. A successful

cyber response only happens when a group of technical experts works seamlessly with a team leader who can get the best out of

them.

Role responsibilities include:

Project scoping: you will be a first responder to cyber-attacks, running triage calls with clients to understand the scope of

the incident and setting out how S-RM can support.

Project management: from that first call to the incident’s conclusion, you will be responsible for ensuring the response is

managed effectively and efficiently, delivering for all stakeholders while on schedule and within budget. Typical workstreams

include:

Working with clients to ensure that incidents are contained.

Overseeing a team of forensic analysts investigating the incident.

Advising strategies for responding to cyber threat actors.

Providing crisis management expertise to help clients navigate the incident.

Relationship management: you will be responsible for building and developing relationships with the various stakeholders

involved in a cyber incident, from the victims themselves to lawyers and insurance professionals.

We nurture a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion, and we are dedicated to developing a workforce that displays a variety

of talents, experiences, and perspectives.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We think candidates with the following skills and experience are likely to succeed as Incident Response Engagement Leads at

S-RM.

You will need great consulting skills and a developed understanding of networks and security technologies. We will prioritise

candidates with demonstrable digital forensics and incident response (‘DFIR’) experience, especially those that have worked in an

incident handling capacity before. However, we’d encourage candidates with adjacent experience to apply. We believe that, with

the right training, anyone that fits the profile below can make an excellent Engagement Lead. We have a proven track record of

supporting those from diverse backgrounds to develop into this role.

We’re looking for:

Native or professional fluency in German language.

Great communication skills.

A calm and empathetic style when under pressure.

A thoughtful approach to solving problems.

An instinct to seek the expertise of others and bring diverse skillsets together.

Excellent client service and advocacy skills in your daily work.

Candidates must have permission to work in South Africa by the start of their employment.

AI Architect (AI for Security)

Neurons Lab

Romania•Publicerad: 24 juni•Sista ansökan: 16 aug.

ABOUT THE PROJECT (DESCRIPTION, DURATION, STAGE) Hands-on AI-for-Security engagement with a regulated iGaming / online-gaming group. The client's security team is genuinely advanced: they already run an AI-driven offensive-security capability — continuous external-perimeter scanning feeding an LLM agent that plans exploitation, sources and validates exploits, and executes them in sandboxed environments — plus a runtime anomaly-detection layer watching for intrusion and privilege-escalation patterns across their products. They built this themselves and have explicitly asked us to challenge and improve it, not just rubber-stamp it. This is not a generalist AI project. Neurons Lab brings the AI-architecture and engagement depth; what's missing is the offensive-security domain lead who can sit across the table from a hands-on CISO team as a peer, pressure-test their pipeline, and own the methodology. You are that expert. The early work is concrete and consultative: understand what they've built, find where it's wrong or expensive, and propose a better way. Stage: pre-engagement / discovery (the immediate next step is a joint technical session with the client's CISO / security engineers). Duration: discovery → advisory / PoC, with strong extension probability as the security program scales across the group. Reporting: Neurons Lab CTO / engagement lead (@Alex Honchar); partners with the Neurons Lab AI Architect on the account. You are the security domain owner for this track. WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO (EXAMPLE TASKS) * Join joint working sessions with the client's hands-on security engineers; challenge and harden their AI-driven offensive pipeline end-to-end (recon → verification → AI-planned exploitation → sandboxed execution). * Design and refine the exploitation agent: how the LLM plans attack paths, selects and validates exploits, and orchestrates parallel sandboxes safely and reproducibly. * Optimise cost-per-finding of the existing exploitation pipeline: benchmark local / sovereign open models (Kimi, GPT-OSS, MiniMax, DeepSeek) against frontier models for the recon, exploitation and analysis loops; quantify accuracy / latency / cost trade-offs and recommend hardware sizing. * Shape the runtime anomaly-detection layer: define which intrusion / privilege-escalation precursor patterns are worth collecting (signal over raw-log volume), and design the missing pieces — automated response (kill a malicious process / disable an account on detection) and triage routing by criticality. * Stand up a quick-win PoC to anchor the engagement — e.g. an automated dependency / PR vulnerability-scanning pass, or a head-to-head local-vs-frontier benchmark of the exploitation agent. * Turn findings into a defensible technical proposal and roadmap; present methodology and trade-offs to a technical CISO / CTO audience. * Keep all sensitive work build-time and in-perimeter — no pushing intellectual property, configs, or recon-enabling data to external model providers; respect regulated-gaming certification constraints (no uncertified AI in runtime-critical paths). SKILLS (HANDS-ON FIRST) * Hands-on offensive security: vulnerability research, exploit development and chaining, web + network penetration testing; fluent with Nmap, Nuclei, Katana, Acunetix, Metasploit, Burp Suite and Kali tooling. * Building and operating LLM agents for security work — agentic tool-use, sandbox orchestration, prompt / flow design for recon and exploitation, guardrails for autonomous exploitation. * Local / self-hosted open models: running and tuning open weights (Kimi, GPT-OSS, MiniMax, DeepSeek) on rented or private GPU; quantization, throughput and the agentic-performance trade-offs that matter for security automation. * Exploit & threat intelligence: sourcing and validating exploits (including from underground / forum sources), CVE triage, exploitability and severity assessment. * Runtime detection: designing intrusion / privilege-escalation pattern detection, anomaly detection, and automated response. * Cloud security (AWS preferred): sandboxing, container isolation, secure inference hosting. * Writes their own code (Python + shell) and can explain methodology to non-security executives. KNOWLEDGE * Modern offensive-security methodology and the current exploit / zero-day landscape. * Strengths and limits of frontier vs. local LLMs for security automation (agentic tool-use, reasoning depth, cost-per-task). * Data-egress / sovereignty constraints: why IP and recon-enabling data must stay in-perimeter; private-cloud (AWS Bedrock) vs. rented-hardware trade-offs. * iGaming / regulated-infrastructure context and certification constraints (build-time vs. run-time AI) — strong plus. * Defensive side — SIEM, anomaly detection, incident response — plus. EXPERIENCE Key characteristics (ideally 4/4): * Hands-on offensive security * Built or operated AI / LLM-driven security automation (agents, pipelines), not just used a chatbot * Cloud hyperscaler experience (AWS preferred) * Technology consulting / client-facing delivery — can lead a CISO-level technical conversation Role-specific characteristics: * 3+ years hands-on offensive security / vulnerability research / red-team * Demonstrable exploit development and chaining; comfortable with zero-day research and exploit intelligence * Has wired LLMs into real security workflows (recon, exploitation, triage) * Has run self-hosted / local open models in a real engagement, with a view on cost and hardware * Comfortable being the sole domain expert in the room and owning the methodology TERMS & CONDITIONS * Allocation: ~0.25 – 0.5 FTE initially (discovery/advisory + joint CISO sessions), scaling with the engagement
