Senior Offensive Security Engineer

The Senior Offensive Security Engineer, Commercial Products will perform hands-on offensive security testing across Ecolab’s commercial digital product portfolio. This role will focus on technical testing of customer-facing commercial products, including web and mobile applications, APIs, cloud services, IoT solutions, PLC/IPC-connected equipment, embedded or field-deployed devices, and related product integrations. The Senior Offensive Security Engineer, Commercial Products will actively perform security testing for most of their time while supporting offensive security engagements, mentoring engineers as needed, and helping improve engagement scope, testing methods, reporting quality, remediation validation, and risk-based prioritization. This role will partner closely with product security, engineering, architecture, cloud, IoT, legal/compliance, and business stakeholders to identify vulnerabilities before they are discovered externally and to help improve the security maturity of Ecolab’s commercial offerings.

Perform hands-on offensive security testing across Ecolab commercial products, including web applications, mobile applications, APIs, cloud services, IoT platforms, PLC/IPC-connected equipment, embedded devices, and product integrations. Plan, scope, and execute technical security assessments focused on identifying exploitable vulnerabilities, attack paths, insecure configurations, weak access controls, exposed secrets, insecure APIs, cloud misconfigurations, and product-specific security gaps. Support offensive security engagements and mentor engineers as needed while remaining highly hands-on in day-to-day testing, analysis, documentation, and remediation validation activities. Contribute to repeatable red team and offensive testing methods, engagement rules, reporting standards, evidence expectations, and risk-rating approaches appropriate for commercial digital products. Partner with product security, application engineering, cloud engineering, IoT engineering, architecture, and business teams to translate testing results into clear remediation actions and risk-based priorities. Conduct safe and authorized technical testing of IoT and industrially connected equipment, including physical access testing of product hardware, field devices, PLC/IPC interfaces, device communications, and related technology components where appropriate. Use commercial and enterprise-approved security tools such as Snyk, Wiz, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, GitHub Advanced Security, Nmap, Horizon3 NodeZero, DAST tooling, and related technologies to identify, validate, and document security issues. Validate vulnerabilities discovered through internal testing, automated scanning, third-party penetration testing, customer inquiries, bug reports, and product security reviews. Prepare clear, actionable reports that explain vulnerability impact, exploitability, business context, affected assets, remediation guidance, compensating controls, and validation results. Present technical findings to engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders at all levels of the organization, communicating risk, business impact, and practical remediation paths. Support product threat modeling, secure architecture reviews, application security reviews, cloud security assessments, and security design discussions based on offensive testing insights. Support improvements to Ecolab’s vulnerability management, secure SDLC, DevSecOps, and product security governance practices by identifying recurring weakness patterns and practical control improvements. Support coordination with third-party penetration testing providers when appropriate, including scope development, test readiness, evidence review, finding validation, and remediation tracking. Maintain awareness of emerging offensive security techniques, AI-enabled attack methods, application security risks, cloud security trends, IoT attack vectors, and relevant industry standards.
