Job Description

This role is Contract to Hire !

Notes from HM :

Must have a good background in testing applications (Im not looking for a knowitall). Just a honest resume that reflects experience in application security testing and some red teaming. I knew it might be a process of patience in finding someone


The ideal candidate would be someone who has been in application security for the last 56 years consistently (I dont require certifications) someone who knows how to test manually applications and not just vulnerability scanning because we already have a team that performs that function) someone who has enjoyed Capture The Flags and loves to tinker in applications; anything else would be a bonus
