We are looking for an experienced penetration tester to identify and responsibly exploit security weaknesses across our applications, networks, and infrastructure.

• Comfortable with scripting (Python, Bash, or PowerShell) to support testing workflows.
• Solid grasp of operating systems, networking, and at least one major cloud platform.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical risk to non\-technical stakeholders.
