Employment type: Contract

Job Description:
As a member of our Attack & Pentest team, you will serve as a frontline analyst responsible for validating, prioritizing, and driving the closure of security vulnerabilities across the enterprise.

Retesting – Perform targeted retesting of remediated vulnerabilities to confirm fixes are effective and complete; document pass/fail results with technical evidence
Tracking & Remediation Support – Monitor remediation timelines against SLAs; coordinate with development and infrastructure teams to ensure timely closure; escalate aging findings per policy
Reporting – Maintain accurate records in the vulnerability management platform; produce weekly status reports on open/closed/overdue findings; contribute to executive-level metrics
Collaboration – Partner with application security, DevOps, and engineering teams to provide remediation guidance and technical context for findings
Process Improvement – Identify patterns in recurring vulnerabilities; recommend process or tooling improvements to reduce triage backlog.

3 plus years’ Experience in hands on penetration testing experience or offensive security testing

Required Qualifications:

3+ years of hands-on penetration testing experience (web applications, APIs, infrastructure)
Demonstrated experience triaging vulnerabilities at scale (CVSS scoring, CWE/OWASP classification, risk-based prioritization)
Strong understanding of common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, SANS Top 25) and remediation strategies
Experience with vulnerability management platforms (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow, DefectDojo, or similar)
Ability to write clear, reproducible proof-of-concept exploits and remediation validation reports
Familiarity with SDLC integration and working directly with development teams on fix guidance
Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical findings for varied audiences.

Preferred Qualifications:

Relevant certifications: OSCP, GPEN, GWAPT, CEH, or equivalent
Experience with bug bounty or crowdsourced vulnerability programs
Familiarity with financial services regulatory requirements (PCI-DSS, FFIEC, SOX)
Scripting/automation skills (Python, Bash, Burp extensions) for retesting workflows
Experience with CI/CD pipeline security tooling (SAST/DAST integration)
Tools & Environment (Preferred Familiarity)
Burp Suite Professional, Nuclei, Caido
Git-based workflows and code review
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) security configurations
