KirpatrickPrice is seeking a senior penetration tester who enjoys teaching as much as testing. We are a security partner to companies of all sizes, but we particularly enjoy helping organizations that are new to the need for penetration testing. Our clients need security experts who are experienced, patient, and able to communicate well, to help them discover vulnerabilities and teach them how to strengthen their defenses. We love empowering and inspiring our clients to effectively protect their most sensitive data. If that describes you, and you’re well-qualified, we want you on our team.

This particular position requires experience testing web applications. Competitive applicants will possess strong web app testing abilities, hold the GWAPT (or another comparable certification); and demonstrate both the ability and desire to teach and mentor. Ideal candidates will also have experience testing APIs, and desktop applications, with mobile application development and network testing considered a strong plus. Experience with web and/or mobile application development will further differentiate strong candidates
