Description
Join a growing federal contractor where your skills directly protect critical systems and infrastructure. This is a hands-on role for a security professional who wants to go beyond automated scans and dig into the real vulnerabilities that matter.
What You'll Do:
You will deliver continuous cyber assessments, solve complex technology challenges, and build the tools needed to identify, influence, and mitigate threats before they become incidents.
This role focuses on manual assessment work, the kind of deep technical analysis that static analysis tools simply cannot replicate. You will help ensure that services, applications, and websites meet the highest security standards from the ground up.
Your Impact:
- Conduct application and hardware penetration testing to uncover real-world vulnerabilities
- Build and automate custom scripts and tools to streamline repetitive tasks and scale your impact
- Mentor and lead engineers through complex penetration tests and vulnerability assessments, helping grow the next generation of security talent
- Advance the team's penetration testing capabilities through new automation and tooling
- Develop actionable threat mitigation plans that make a measurable difference
Why This Role:
This is an opportunity to work on meaningful, high-stakes security challenges while growing into a technical leader. You will have the chance to mentor others, shape tooling strategy, and build a reputation as a go-to expert in offensive security, all while contributing to a mission that matters.
