Pentester

Phoenix, AZ
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    We are a leading security consulting firm serving the Fortune 1000 and high-tech startups. We protect our clients by finding vulnerabilities and building defenses before the attackers can break bad. From critical infrastructure to credit cards; social media to mobile games; flight navigation systems to frozen waffle factories — we’re right there hacking away.

    We’re looking for talented hackers to help us secure some of the world’s most complex software and sophisticated technologies.

    Who You Are and What You’ll Do

    You fancy yourself a pentester. You know your way around source code. You’ve plundered apps and pillaged networks (legally, of course). You have a passion for hacking and information security. If you’re not already doing it professionally, you’re pen testing in your free time. You may also have written a few blog posts about your favorite hacks or have presented at a handful of conferences – with an eye to doing more.

    With us, your responsibilities would include testing web applications, hacking networks, and reversing software. Some days, you’ll be red teaming wireless networks and physically breaking into buildings. Other days, you’ll be analyzing source code and building threat models. Every day you’ll be learning.

    As a consultant, you’ll solve challenging technical problems and build creative solutions. As a trusted advisor, you’ll provide your expert opinion to help our clients navigate difficult business decisions.

    Why Work Here?

    We offer a competitive salary, generous benefits, flexible schedules, and negotiable travel. If you’re looking for opportunities to grow professionally, this is the place. You’ll work alongside some of the most talented and experienced security consultants in the industry.

    We have a casual workplace environment, but we‘re consummate professionals.

    Your Education and Experience

    You just have to be good at and, most importantly, love what you do. Don’t worry about a piece of paper; we won’t. Here’s a list of qualities we’re looking for, but don’t think that you need them all:

    • Vulnerability assessment
    • Penetration testing and code review
    • Understanding security fundamentals and common vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top Ten)
    • 2 - 5 years of application security experience
    • Additional experience in IT, security engineering, system and network security, authentication and security protocols, and applied cryptography
    • Scripting/programming skills (e.g., Python, Ruby, Java, JS, etc.)
    • Network and web-related protocol knowledge (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP, IPSEC, HTTP, HTTPS, routing protocols)
    • Advanced relevant academic training is a definite bonus
    • Strong communication skills (i.e. written and verbal)

    Candidates across the country are welcome to apply, but we’d prefer it if you’re located in or near the Phoenix or San Francisco metropolitan area.
