Cybersecurity skills training platform with hands-on lab environments
OffSec delivers practical cybersecurity training through interactive lab environments and instructor-led programs. The tech stack—Kali Linux, OpenStack, Active Directory, and cloud infrastructure (Azure)—reflects a company built around managing complex, scalable lab instances for concurrent users. Current hiring velocity is accelerating across sales (10 roles), engineering (7), and support (6), driven by three concurrent initiatives: migrating to a new web platform for operations, scaling lab infrastructure, and automating onboarding—suggesting they're moving from legacy systems toward SaaS-like operational maturity.
