• Mentor students during technical challenges, projects, and competitive exercise.
• Ensure all instructional content reflects current tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by real-world adversaries
• Collaborate with Academy leadership and other instructors to ensure curriculum alignment and quality assurance
• Contribute to continuous improvement of course materials, tooling, and delivery methods

Tech Requirements:

Candidates should demonstrate strong hands-on experience in multiple areas of offensive security, including:

• Familiarity with modern C2 frameworks and red team infrastructure concepts
• Strong understanding of penetration testing methodologies and reporting best practices

CTF & Practical Challenge Experience (Highly Desirable):

• Prior participation in CTF competitions

• Experience designing or maintaining CTF challenges, lab environments, or cyber range content

• Ability to explain exploitation techniques clearly and guide students through problem-solving rather than providing direct solutions

Teaching & Professional Skills

• Previous experience delivering technical training, workshops, or mentoring (formal teaching experience is an advantage but not mandatory)
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to learners at varying skill levels

• Strong communication and classroom management skills

• Structured, methodical approach to instruction and assessment

• Professional, ethical approach to offensive security education

Certifications (Preferred):

One or more of the following certifications is preferred:

• OSCP / OSCE / OSEP / OSED
