Remote Security Tester

Protect the Digital Frontier from Anywhere

What happens when passionate security minds unite behind a mission to safeguard the world's most innovative tech platforms? Magic. That’s the kind of magic we believe in. As we continue to build groundbreaking digital products that push the edge of what’s possible, we need a Remote Security Tester who lives for vulnerabilities, thrives on penetration testing, and finds purpose by anticipating and neutralizing emerging cyber risks. If you crave an opportunity to protect vital infrastructure without leaving the comfort of your home office, this is where your journey begins.

About the Role

In this fully remote position, you'll be our first line of defense. This isn't just a job—it's a virtual sentry post in the cloudscape of global cybersecurity. You’ll identify flaws before attackers can exploit them, fortify networks with intelligent assessments, and collaborate with developers to instill resilience into every layer of our applications. From source code audits to red-team simulations, your work will drive our commitment to safety, integrity, and digital trust. The annual salary for this role is $119,895.

Why This Role is a Game-Changer

This isn’t your standard 9-to-5 security gig. It’s a dynamic, remote-first position tailored for thinkers who enjoy breaking things (ethically) and fixing them even better. You’ll operate in agile teams, engage with real-world breach simulations, and be empowered to pursue certification programs and research initiatives. We value curiosity, independence, and an unrelenting appetite for progress.
