Job description

As our new senior Penetration Tester, you will build, test, and deploy Digital Forensics services that keep our business running. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $86,000 - $125,000 and contract hours come standard, but the technology reins are the real prize.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
• Trace a deeply-bought-in technology bug across three Network Security services to the one bad line
• Chase down the Data Loss Prevention integration that silently drops Strategic Consulting Group events at midnight
• Translate oddball-friendly business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
• Map data flow across Strategic Consulting Group's Data Loss Prevention services and spot the leaks
• Mentor the senior cohort through their first real Data Loss Prevention on-call at Strategic Consulting Group

What You’ll Bring

• Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
• Demonstrated wins in technology work somewhere near Tyler, TX
• A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
• At least 6 years of standing behind your own estimates
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• Real Security Awareness Training chops, plus the Empathy curiosity to keep growing

Built in Tyler and run on caffeine and conviction, Strategic Consulting Group turns messy technology problems into clean, repeatable wins. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole technology project.

In return for your Security Awareness Training expertise, you'll earn $86,000 - $125,000 along with 401(k) matching and flexible remote options.
