• Architecture Review: Partner with developers to review code and architectures for security weaknesses, recommending secure‑by‑design patterns.

Required Skills & Experience

• Programming: Strong proficiency in at least one of the following: Go, Java, Python, or C#.
• Security Tooling: Hands‑on experience with Burp Suite, Kali Linux, Nmap, Sqlmap, and Metasploit.
• Modern Infrastructure: Experience with Docker and containerized environments.
• CI/CD: Practical experience integrating security testing into Git‑based source control and automated pipelines.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field.
• Preferred Certifications: Highly desirable certifications include: OSWE, GPEN, GWAT, GXPN, CEH, or CSSLP. Upon completion of waiting period consultants are eligible for:
