Remote Security Test Engineer

Introduction: Building the Future, One Secure Line at a Time

What do you get when you combine an unwavering drive for progress and a commitment to airtight digital protection? You get us—a boundary-pushing force in remote cybersecurity. From our humble beginnings as a small think tank of white-hat tinkerers, we’ve evolved into a full-fledged security powerhouse supporting global organizations. Our secret weapon? An unstoppable team that thrives on challenge, collaboration, and caffeine. We're on the hunt for a Remote Security Test Engineer who can unravel complex attack vectors, expose system vulnerabilities before bad actors do, and sprinkle a little genius into everything they touch. If you believe that "secure by design" isn’t just a principle—it's a lifestyle—then this remote role is calling your name.

What You'll Be Doing

Vulnerability Discovery & Exploitation

• Conduct proactive security assessments, from threat modeling to penetration testing.
• Use your wizardry to identify application, infrastructure, and network weaknesses.
• Engineer custom test cases that challenge our systems and expand our defenses.

Automated Security Test Development

• Build robust, maintainable test automation for both existing and upcoming tech stacks.
• Collaborate with DevOps to integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Keep scripts elegant, scalable, and built to withstand evolving threats.

Secure Architecture Review

• Participate in secure design discussions with cross-functional teams.
• Review architecture documents and suggest risk-mitigating design patterns.
• Consult on secure implementation strategies and flag potential design pitfalls.

Threat Intelligence & Response Simulation

• Emulate real-world adversary behavior using red team-style assessments.
• Stay two steps ahead by analyzing the latest cyberattack trends.
• Use data from simulated attacks to improve our detection systems and alerting logic.

Tech You'll Tame

• Languages: Go, Java, Bash, TypeScript (and yes, we love Python too—just not in predictable ways)
• Security Tools: Burp Suite, Metasploit, OWASP ZAP, Wireshark, and some tools you’ll probably invent
• Automation Frameworks: Selenium, Cypress, Playwright (automated chaos, anyone?)
• Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP (multi-cloud defenders preferred!)
• CI/CD & DevSecOps: Jenkins, GitLab, Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes

What Sets You Apart

• Proven experience in security testing, ethical hacking, or red teaming roles
• Sharp command of application and network protocols—especially HTTP/S, DNS, and TLS
• Knowledge of both offensive security tools and defensive hardening methods
• Clear, confident communicator who thrives in a distributed team
• Innovative thinker who enjoys making something better—even if it ain’t broken (yet)
• Hands-on experience in threat modeling, fuzz testing, exploit development, or vulnerability chaining

Work Environment & Culture

We're fully remote and fabulously flexible. Whether you prefer standing desks, sitting pods, or an ocean-view hammock, you bring the space—we get the purpose. Here, your insights don’t just matter—they lead. Our team embodies:

• Curiosity: Security evolves, and so do we.
• Respect: Every question is valid; every idea gets airtime.
• Ownership: You build it, you break it, you secure it.
• Creativity: Innovation isn’t optional; it’s a job requirement.

We support asynchronous workflows, foster open technical debates, and encourage passion projects that push the envelope.

Compensation & Perks

• Annual Salary: $127,026 (no guesswork, just transparency)
• Unlimited vacation (for real)
• Comprehensive medical, optical, and dental coverage for you and your loved ones
• Wellness budget: Take a yoga class, try breathwork, or buy better coffee
• Annual remote retreat to a destination you won't want to leave
• Education allowance for certifications, conferences, or niche hacking courses

Opportunities for Growth

• Lead penetration testing campaigns for Fortune 500 clients
• Transition into Security Architect or Red Team Lead roles
• Contribute to open-source security initiatives or publish whitepapers
• Mentor junior testers and build your personal security brand

How to Join the Cyber Crusade

Think like a hacker? Code like a developer? Obsess over edge cases? Great—you're halfway there. We’re looking for someone who:

• Thrives in ambiguity and a remote-first culture
• Loves to reverse-engineer digital puzzles
• Has a strong sense of responsibility for digital trust
• Brings fresh ideas, but always keeps the user in mind

If you're nodding enthusiastically while reading this, you might be our next teammate.
