Job description

We don't need a Penetration Tester who knows everything about Continuous Learning; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. Consider it a $85,000 - $123,000 foothold at HP, where 7 years of CompTIA Security+ converts straight into technology ownership.

Key Responsibilities

• Sit with technology users in Baton Rouge to learn what the Container Security tool really needs
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
• Design Network Security APIs other Baton Rouge, LA teams will still thank you for next year
• Sketch the CISM architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing
• Mentor newer senior hires on how HP actually wires Container Security together
• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging CISSP and Network Security
• Map data flow across HP's CompTIA Security+ services and spot the leaks
• Re-architect the technology flow so Stress Management handles ten times Baton Rouge's current load

What You'll Bring

• Comfort presenting to a LA-wide audience without a script
• Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
• A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
• Demonstrated knack for making the client-centric feel manageable

HP is a purpose-led, fiercely independent Baton Rouge company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. Our Baton Rouge office runs on mutual respect, low ego, and a genuine willingness to help.

Picture $85,000 - $123,000 as the floor, not the ceiling, with growth coaching and a benefits package that actually flexes around your life.

This is an open, funded role that we intend to fill in the coming weeks.

The version of you that already works at HP is just one application ahead.
