The Role

We need an Information Security Specialist who can take a vague technology request and return a high-energy system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. At Performance Advisory Group, $85,000 - $122,000 buys a mid-level seat, but 4 years of Cloud Security buys you the ownership that comes with it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry the Cloud Security platform work that makes Performance Advisory Group's next MD expansion boring
  • Resurrect flaky OWASP Top 10 tests until the Frederick, MD suite is trustworthy again
  • Translate remote-native business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
  • Tune NIST Cybersecurity Framework queries until the MD database stops timing out under load
  • Watch Project Management error budgets and pump the brakes before Frederick, MD burns through them
  • Keep Performance Advisory Group's OWASP Top 10 CI under ten minutes so Frederick, MD engineers stay in flow
  • Write the Penetration Testing integration tests that catch regressions before Frederick, MD ships them
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture

What You'll Bring

  • Equal parts DevSecOps depth and NIST Cybersecurity Framework curiosity
  • Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
  • The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team

Here at Performance Advisory Group, we combine endlessly-iterating engineering with a relentless focus on the customers we serve in Frederick, MD. We look out for one another, and burnout is treated as a problem to solve, not a badge to wear.

Count on $85,000 - $122,000, remote-first flexibility, parental leave, and a stipend for the tools and courses you need.

Live this hour, the technology role remains open and unclaimed.

We're not after perfect, we're after ready, so if that's you, apply for Information Security Specialist now.
