  • Effectively communicate security findings and remediation strategies to technical teams, executive leadership, and legal counsel.
  • Utilize attacker tools, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) safely in testing environments.
  • Develop scripts, tools, and methodologies to enhance the red teaming and penetration testing processes.
Competencies
  • 5+ years of penetration testing or related security experience.
  • Expertise in at least three of the following:
    • Network penetration testing and manipulation of network infrastructure.
    • Web, mobile, and/or desktop application assessments.
    • Social engineering assessments (email, phone, or physical).
    • Automation or scripting using Perl, Python, Ruby, or similar languages.
    • Exploit development or modifying shellcode and existing exploit tools.
    • Application development in C#, ASP.NET, Objective C, or Java (J2EE).
    • Reverse engineering malware, data obfuscation, or cryptographic systems.
    • Regulatory penetration testing, particularly focusing on FTC and PCI compliance standards.
    • Source code review for control flow and security vulnerabilities.
  • Strong knowledge of operating systems and network protocols.
  • Proficiency with tools such as Burp Suite, Checkmarx, Snyk, Wireshark, Fiddler, and Wiz.
  • Ethical approach to security and business operations.
  • Fluency in written and spoken English (B2 level or higher).
  • Familiarity with Kali Linux and security frameworks like MITRE ATTCK.
  • Desire to continuously learn new techniques and attack vectors.
Preferred Skills :
  • Experience with wireless, web application, and network security testing tools.
  • Familiarity with ICS, SCADA, BACnet protocols, and covert communication channels.
  • Basic understanding of AI and machine learning security, including adversarial attacks, model poisoning and secure deployment of AI systems.
  • Working knowledge of Unix/Linux/Mac/Windows operating systems, including scripting in Bash and Powershell.
  • Experience with security controls in AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud environments.
