Descripción de la vacante

Alignerr Corp. in Seattle is seeking a Lead Penetration Tester for fully remote, contract engagements across web, network, and cloud environments. You will design and execute offensive security tests, emulate attacker techniques, and deliver results to stakeholders.

You will produce structured reports with actionable remediation guidance and collaborate with red-team and purple-team efforts to strengthen defenses. This role rewards autonomy and ongoing contract opportunities.

Formación

• Background in offensive security, penetration testing, or red teaming.
• Hands-on experience with exploitation frameworks, tools, and methodologies (Metasploit, Burp Suite, Cobalt Strike, or similar).
• Strong ability to think like an adversary and replicate real-world attack chains.
• Skilled at writing structured, professional technical reports that non-technical stakeholders can act on.
• Self-directed and reliable — you can manage engagements independently without hand-holding.

Responsabilidades

• Plan and execute penetration tests across web applications, internal and external networks, and cloud infrastructure
• Identify, validate, and exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact
• Conduct post-exploitation analysis to assess the full scope and blast radius of discovered weaknesses
• Deliver clear, structured technical reports with actionable severity assessments and remediation guidance
• Challenge and validate defensive assumptions — test detection logic, not just defenses
• Support recurring red-team and purple-team engagements alongside security operations teams
