Notes from Hiring Manager:

Must have a good background in testing applications (I'm not looking for a know-it-all). Just an honest resume that reflects experience in application security testing and some red teaming. The ideal candidate would be someone who has been in application security for the last 5-6 years consistently (I don't require certifications), someone who knows how to test applications manually and not just through vulnerability scanning because we already have a team that performs that function.

Enjoyment of Capture The Flags and a passion for tinkering with applications would be a bonus.

Job Summary:

As a member of the Application Security team, you will support offensive security assessments on applications and provide SME guidance to key projects.

The Application Offensive Security Consultant is responsible for providing technical direction and performing security assessments on applications. The person in this role should possess a good understanding of application security testing, red team/adversarial engagements, and penetration testing, along with related development expertise to guide project initiatives and ensure security best practices are being used.

Your

Primary Responsibilities:

Perform red teaming against applications and APIs.

Conduct application threat hunting to evaluate risk to applications.

Perform manual (non-automated) security testing of applications.

Provide vulnerability information in the predefined report format after performing testing using manual methodology and tools.

Generate reports on assessment findings and summarize to facilitate remediation, documenting technical issues identified during security assessments.

Act as a subject matter expert and respond to any security engineering questions/requests related to Application Defense enhancements.

Collaborate with Security Architects, Product Managers, Risk Managers, and other teams to deliver high-quality products.

Note: Responsibilities of this role are not limited to the details above.

Talents Needed for Success:

Bachelor’s Degree and/or equivalent experience.

Minimum of 6 years of experience in application security testing.

Minimum of 4 years of experience in conducting red teaming engagements.

Minimum of 4 years of experience with application security testing tools such as Burp Suite Professional & OWASP Zap.

Ability to test manually and utilize “live off of the land strategies.”

Ability to explain vulnerabilities and weaknesses in OWASP Top 10 and SANS Top 25 to any audience and discuss effective defensive techniques.

Understanding of the MITRE Framework and adversarial methodologies.

Ability to bypass controls and/or test countermeasures for misconfigurations.

Ability to work under pressure, multitask, and be flexible.

Certified in OSCP, GWAPT, or related offensive security/red teaming certification.
