We’re looking for a full‑time Security Staff Consultant to parachute in wherever software insecurity invades and to stomp out bugs and flaws wherever they hide. Does this sound like a good role for you?

In this role, you will join in the execution and delivery of planned project deliverables and milestones that assist clients in learning, understanding, and applying our secure software development methodologies.

You will typically have task responsibility within one project and develop the capability to perform tasks within one or more of our security practices & continuously learn and expand your technical expertise.

Some work is from the office, but you will often go on site to help customers exterminate the bugs and untangle the flaws that make their systems insecure.

Our consultants make themselves and their team indispensable advisors to our customers: they build the relationships that help create and identify follow‑on assignments.
