About The Project (description, Duration, Stage) Hands-on AI-for-Security engagement with a regulated i Gaming / 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. 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, Mini Max, Deep Seek) 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 Po C 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 andtrade-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, Mini Max, Deep Seek) 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. i Gaming / 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 #J-18808-Ljbffr
