You’ll be joining a group of talented, creative thinkers who "act like the enemy" to focus on ensuring that infrastructure and applications (web, mobile, and API) are secure by performing penetration testing from both inside and outside of Verizon.

• Configuring and safely utilizing attacker tools, tactics, and procedures for Verizon environments.

• Developing comprehensive and accurate reports and presentations for both technical and executive audiences.

• The ability to make collaborative and independent decisions on the impact of an exposure to Verizon

• Acting as a SME and guide, advising on security vulnerability impact, ratings and remediation recommendations across the organization as needed.

• Leading the definition of Pen Test strategy and standards to further enhance the company’s security posture, collaborating with management/exec leadership.

• Effectively communicating findings and strategy to client stakeholders including technical staff, executive leadership, and legal counsel

• Working closely with stakeholders and developers providing risk-appropriate and pragmatic recommendations to correct found vulnerabilities.

• Translating functional plans into operational processes and guiding execution of the development of scripts, tools, or methodologies to enhance Verizon’s pen testing processes and effectiveness

• Driving technical oversight and mentoring junior pen testers on pen test engagements, vulnerability impact and ratings and remediation recommendations.

• Providing leadership and guidance to advance the offensive capabilities of the team and its subsequent ability to defend the Verizon Enterprise.

What we’re looking for. You’ll need to have:

• Bachelor’s degree or four or more years of work experience.

• Six or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.

• Six or more years of application/network penetration testing or security experience.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• A degree in engineering, cyber security or computer science.

• Application development experience.

• Knowledge of secure software deployment methodologies, tools, and practices.

• Experience with application security risk procedures, security patterns, authentication technologies and security attack pathologies.

• Service Delivery/Governance: ITILv2/3.

• Deep understanding of OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, MASVS.

• Strong knowledge of tools used for api, Infrastructure, web application, mobile, and network security testing, such as Kali Linux, Metasploit, Wireshark, Burp suite, Cobalt Strike, Nessus, Web Inspect, SQLMap.

• Experience leading small pen test teams, driving process and strategy.

• Solid understanding of common hosting environments such as containerization platforms (e.g., Docker and Kubernetes) and virtual machines running under hypervisors.

• An implementation level familiarity with all common classes of modern exploitation.

• Mastery of Unix/Linux/Mac/Windows operating systems, including bash and Powershell.

• Programming skills preferred and encouraged, as well as the ability to read and assess applications written multiple languages, such as Python, JAVA, .NET, C#, or others.

• Experience with system and application security threats and vulnerabilities and secure configuration management techniques, software debugging principles, software design tools, methods, and techniques, software development models (e.g., Waterfall Model, Spiral Model).

• Knowledge of secure coding techniques.

• Knowledge of application security, application security vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques.

• Some experience with software related information technology (IT) security principles and methods (e.g., modularization, layering, abstraction, data hiding, and simplicity/minimization).

• Knowledge of secure software deployment methodologies, tools, and practices.

• Knowledge of network security architecture concepts including topology, protocols, components, and principles (e.g., application of defense-in-depth).

• Knowledge of security architecture concepts and enterprise architecture reference models.

• Knowledge in discerning the protection needs (i.e., security controls) of information systems and networks.

• Strong organization skills and demonstrated ability to manage multiple, often conflicting priorities to successful completion.
