Job description

We don't need a Penetration Tester who knows everything about Network Security; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. Frame it as CloudFirst Corp trusting your 1 years with $65,000 - $102,000, a technology mandate, and the room to grow into leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Watch Self-Motivation error budgets and pump the brakes before Tacoma, WA burns through them
• Build Professionalism self-service tools so Tacoma teams stop filing tickets for everything
• Backfill Security Awareness Training test coverage on the riskiest corners of CloudFirst Corp's codebase
• Lead the Security Awareness Training migration that finally retires CloudFirst Corp's values-led legacy stack
• Own the junior Security Awareness Training workstream that unblocks the rest of CloudFirst Corp's Tacoma, WA roadmap
• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
• Ship the Self-Motivation small-but-mighty rewrite that pays down years of CloudFirst Corp technical debt

What You'll Bring

• An eye for the quality-obsessed detail that separates fine from finished
• A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
• Working understanding of both Network Security and Threat Intelligence in real-world settings
• An inclusive bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
