Penetration Tester - Contract

Bishop Fox, security isn’t just what we do, t’s what we live for. We lead the way in continuous offensive security and penetration testing, helping some of the most recognizable companies on the planet stay ahead of realworld threats. We’re trusted by over a quarter of the Fortune 100, half of the Fortune 10, and the biggest names in media, tech, and finance.

Our Cosmos platform (shoutout to SC Media for naming it Best Emerging Technology) is just one example of how we keep pushing the envelope. And with nearly two decades of contributions, from open-source tools to published advisories, we’re all in on making the digital world safer.

We’re looking for talented, experienced professional hackers to help us secure some of the world’s most complex software and sophisticated technologies on a contract basis. You’ll be working alongside our US and other internationally-based teams supporting clients across multiple industries.

Who You Are and What You’ll Do

You fancy yourself a Pentester. You know your way around source code. You’ve plundered apps and pillaged networks (legally, of course). You may also have written a few blog posts about your favorite hacks or have presented at a handful of conferences, with an eye to doing more.

With Bishop Fox, your responsibilities would include testing web applications, hacking networks, and reversing software. As a consultant, you’ll work on a variety of projects which include short-term engagements and extended program work with well-established clients, you'll solve challenging technical problems and build creative solutions. As a trusted advisor, you’ll provide your expert opinion to help our clients navigate difficult business decisions.

Your Education and Experience

• +5 YOE in web application penetration testing and code review skills
• Vulnerability assessment experience
• Understanding security fundamentals and common vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top Ten)
• 5+ years of application security experience
• Additional experience in Cloud security; background in system and network security, authentication and security protocols, and applied cryptography are helpful
• Scripting/programming skills (e.g., Python, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, etc.)
• Network and web-related protocol knowledge (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP, IPSEC, HTTP, HTTPS, routing protocols)
• Advanced relevant academic training is a definite bonus
