This role sits at the core of a high-impact offensive security function, focused on identifying, analyzing, and helping remediate complex security vulnerabilities across client environments. You will lead penetration testing and advanced vulnerability assessments, delivering actionable insights that directly strengthen clients’ security posture. The position combines deep technical execution with client-facing responsibilities, requiring the ability to translate complex findings into clear, business-relevant recommendations. You will act as a trusted security advisor, guiding remediation strategies and ensuring high-quality delivery of security services. Working closely with internal teams, you will also contribute to process improvement, automation initiatives, and the evolution of offensive security capabilities. This is a highly collaborative and fast-moving environment where technical expertise and communication skills are equally critical.

Accountabilities:
  • Execute vulnerability assessments and penetration tests (manual and automated), analyzing results and defining remediation guidance
  • Produce detailed security reports and deliver clear, actionable debriefs to client stakeholders
  • Lead client-facing meetings, providing expert advice, security insights, and remediation recommendations
  • Collaborate with clients to understand business context and align security findings with operational and risk priorities
  • Maintain and improve documentation of security methodologies, processes, and tooling, including reporting automation
  • Present findings through updated security briefings and executive-level presentations
  • Stay current on emerging threats, attack techniques, and offensive security best practices to enhance service quality
  • Act as an escalation point for internal teams and primary security contact for assigned clients
Requirements:
  • 3–5 years of experience in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, or offensive security roles
  • Strong understanding of network protocols, operating systems, application-layer protocols, and security fundamentals
  • Hands-on experience with penetration testing methodologies, frameworks, and tools
  • Solid knowledge of cybersecurity threats, incident response concepts, and risk assessment approaches
  • Ability to analyze large, complex datasets and translate findings into actionable security decisions
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
  • Strong collaboration skills and ability to work effectively across teams and client environments
  • Familiarity with tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, Caido, or similar security testing platforms
  • Understanding of TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS, SMTP, and related networking protocols
  • Experience with scripting or programming (e.g., Python) is a plus
  • Relevant certifications such as OSCP, PNPT, GPEN, CEH, PenTest+, Security+, or equivalent preferred
Benefits:
  • Competitive base salary range: $145,000 – $155,000 USD
  • Compensation adjusted based on experience, skills, qualifications, and location
  • Inclusive and equitable compensation practices aligned with market standards
  • Opportunity to work on advanced offensive security projects with real-world impact
  • Exposure to modern security tools, methodologies, and automation initiatives
  • Collaborative, high-performance environment with strong technical mentorship
