Description

Trade Republic is hiring a Senior Security Engineer for Purple Teaming in Berlin to plan and execute purple team exercises aligned to real-world threat actors and protect its critical systems and customer data. You will design attack scenarios spanning initial access, persistence, lateral movement, privilege escalation, command-and-control and exfiltration, and assess the effectiveness of existing security controls across networks, applications and cloud infrastructure. The role includes developing and tuning SIEM detections with the Security Operations team, validating alert quality and detection coverage, enhancing incident response playbooks, and running hypothesis-driven threat hunts. It requires 5+ years in security engineering with a specialism in purple, red or blue teaming.

Requirements

  • 5+ years as a Security Engineer with 3+ years specializing in Purple/Red/Blue Teaming
  • Experience running or leading purple team exercises in enterprise environments
  • Strong understanding of real-world attacker behavior, not just theoretical frameworks

  • Strong understanding of cloud security (AWS) and Kubernetes security
  • Good understanding of macOS security
  • Experience with SIEM solutions, preferably Google SecOps
  • Experience with Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) tools such as SentinelOne or CrowdStrike
