Somewhere between the whiteboard sketch and the green deploy badge is the Penetration Tester role we're opening in Springfield, IL. Cut to the chase and you get $90,000 - $123,000, a technology mandate, and Target colleagues who treat ownership as the default.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver senior-quality features within the $90,000 - $123,000 Penetration Tester mandate
• Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput Target workloads
• Reach into legacy Phishing Simulation modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
• Pair Azure Sentinel and Identity and Access Management in a pipeline Target can extend without your help later

• Own the full lifecycle of technology systems from prototype to production

What You'll Bring

• Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
• Identity and Access Management fundamentals plus the PCI DSS polish clients notice
• Proven track record delivering results as a senior Penetration Tester
• Comfort with hybrid arrangements and the rhythms of a heads-down-and-happy workplace

Every product at Target reflects the spirited-and-grounded standards our Springfield, IL team holds itself to. We keep ego out of code review and let the Burp Suite argument win on its merits.

We seal the offer with $90,000 - $123,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, the four reasons IL talent picks Target first.

Candidate outreach for this technology opening is happening as we speak.
