KirpatrickPrice is seeking a Penetration Tester who enjoys teaching as much as testing. We’re a security partner to companies new to the need for penetration testing. Our clients need security experts who are experienced, patient, and communicate well, to help them discover vulnerabilities and teach them how to strengthen their defenses. We love empowering and inspiring our clients to effectively protect their most sensitive data. If that describes you, and you’re well-qualified, we want you on our team.
This particular position requires experience testing web applications, but will also test networks and mobile apps. Competitive applicants will demonstrate web app testing experience; possess the GWAPT or other comparable pen testing certs; and demonstrate both the ability and desire to teach and mentor. Experience with web development, app development, and evaluating the OWASP Top 10 and broader OWASP web security testing guidelines will further differentiate strong candidates.
