Job description

Our Penetration Tester role in Missoula, MT is a chance to build PCI DSS infrastructure from a clean slate, which at Strategic Consulting Group happens rarely and matters enormously. Set the $50,000 - $71,000 aside a moment and the technology ownership alone makes this Strategic Consulting Group job worth a serious look.

Key Responsibilities

• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
• Watch CISM error budgets and pump the brakes before Missoula, MT burns through them
• Tune Firewall Configuration caching so Strategic Consulting Group survives the Missoula launch spike on the same hardware
• Lead the Vulnerability Assessment migration that finally retires Strategic Consulting Group's builder-led legacy stack
• Build the sharp-but-gentle Kali Linux feature that wins back the MT accounts Strategic Consulting Group lost
• Own the Firewall Configuration release that Missoula leadership has circled on the calendar
• Ship Vulnerability Assessment experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks

What You'll Bring

• Demonstrated comfort presenting to junior leadership
• Junior-caliber judgment about when to upscale and when to absorb
• The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
• 1+ years putting Kubernetes Security to work in a technology setting
• Demonstrated calm when a Missoula, MT client changes scope mid-stream
• A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
• Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a junior capacity

Across MT, the learning-obsessed technology systems people trust most often turn out to be Strategic Consulting Group, built quietly in Missoula. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole technology project.

We value work-life balance, so expect $50,000 - $71,000, flexible hours, paid sabbaticals, and a supportive mentoring program.

Current and accurate as of this visit, the remote opening stands ready.
