Security Engineer, Penetration Tester, or DevSecOps role — ideally at a boutique MSSP, security-focused scale-up, or fintech/crypto company with a real security function. Open to offensive work (pentesting, red team support, AppSec), cloud security, or IoT/OT security. Looking for an environment where security engineering and delivery are core business, not a side function.

Security Engineer — Offensive Security, Cloud & IoT
What I'm looking for
Security engineer with hands-on offensive and cloud security experience. First security hire at an IoT startup — built the security function from the ground up, from infrastructure audits and vulnerability management to IAM deployment and compliance prep.
Background spans offensive security (web app pentesting, network recon, attack surface mapping), cloud security (AWS/Azure, HashiCorp Vault, Keycloak, Terraform IaC), and IoT/edge deployments. I pick up new tools fast and spend a lot of time building Python automations that turn manual security checks into repeatable pipelines.
Side projects: PenTestPro (Python pentesting framework with Nmap/SQLMap/NVD integration), BSC Security Scanner (full-stack smart contract analyzer detecting honeypots and rug pulls), ChainGotchi (browser extension for real-time crypto scam detection across 6 chains).
Based in Bangkok, graduating February 2026 (BS IT, Network & Security, Stamford International University). Currently pursuing HTB CPTS.
