  • Minimum 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity consulting
  • Demonstrated expertise in one or more areas: Web Application, API, Mobile, Cloud, and Internal and External Network Penetration Testing
  • Proficiency in multiple scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, C, Bash)
  • Experience testing against one or more IT security compliance frameworks, such as PCI, FISMA, HIPAA, FedRAMP, or HITRUST
  • Strong understanding of security frameworks and standards (e.g., OWASP, NIST, PTES, PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP)
  • Proven experience interacting with clients, delivering presentations, and writing detailed assessment reports
  • Experience leading penetration testing engagements and working independently in a client-facing capacity
  • Willingness to travel occasionally (up to 10%)

  • You should have solid proficiency in at least one of the following areas:
  • Compliance-Driven Penetration Testing (e.g., PCI, FedRAMP)
  • Cloud Penetration Testing (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Network/Active Directory Penetration Testing
  • Application (Web/API/Mobile/Thick) Penetration Testing
  • Secure Code Review
  • Hardware or IoT Testing
  • Container Security Testing

  • What Sets You Apart
  • Proven ability to manage time and juggle multiple tasks under tight deadlines
