Job description

Position: Hourly, full-time, on-site in our Boston office

Experience level: Entry-level - no cybersecurity background required

Schedule: Mandatory overtime; average ~45 hours/week

Compensation: $22.5 per hour, plus overtime

What you’ll actually do

• Working directly under senior analysts and getting unfiltered exposure to how a high-growth cybersecurity team operates
• Delivering exceptional service to our business clients and their key contacts
• Managing accounts and acting as the connective tissue between client needs and internal teams
• Supporting projects across cybersecurity, compliance, IT, and business operations
• Learning the field from the ground up and earning industry-recognized certifications along the way
• No cybersecurity experience required. We will teach you the frameworks, the tools, the client posture, and the certifications.

What we look for

• Relentless follow-through. You finish what you start. When something falls through the cracks, it doesn't fall through yours.
• Sharp written communication. You can write clearly under pressure - to a client, a teammate, or an auditor - and you understand that in this job, your writing is your work.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You can operate when the answer isn’t in a manual. You ask good questions, take a position, and move.
• Intellectual curiosity. You actually enjoy learning hard, technical material. You’d rather understand something deeply than fake your way through it.
• High personal standards. You hold the bar yourself before anyone else has to hold it for you.
• Resilience. Long days, hard feedback, and the occasional bad week don’t break you. You recover and keep going.
• If you played a varsity sport, led a team, served in the military, finished a demanding degree, started something, or built something nobody asked you to build - tell us. We read all of that as signal. Claims about who you are matter less to us than evidence of who you’ve been when it was hard.

Benefits

• 10 days of paid time off
• 11 paid federal holidays
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Monthly healthcare stipend
• Gym membership stipend
• Weekly team lunches and in-office snacks
