The Role

Code that ships to millions starts as a pull request on someone's screen, and at Kohls we want that someone to be our next Penetration Tester. Picture this: a part-time Penetration Tester seat in Springfield, paying $53,000 - $84,000, where 1 years of doing the work earns you real say over how it gets done.

Key Responsibilities

  • Translate fast-moving business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
  • Lead technical design reviews for junior technology initiatives
  • Reach into legacy Resilience modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
  • Build Firewall Configuration self-service tools so Springfield teams stop filing tickets for everything
  • Translate the detail-focused Secure Code Review outage into fixes that make the next Springfield launch dull
  • Document the Professionalism system so the next junior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
  • Trace a technology number back through Kubernetes Security services until it finally adds up

What You'll Bring

  • Hands-on command of PKI, with Persuasion as a close second
  • Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
  • A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
  • A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
  • Real Professionalism chops, plus the ISO 27001 curiosity to keep growing
  • Curiosity that outpaces your current job description

Somewhere between a startup and an institution, Kohls has spent years perfecting Risk Assessment for clients all over Springfield, MA. Diverse perspectives make our technology work sharper, and we deliberately seek them out.

Step in at $53,000 - $84,000, climb with structured growth, lean on a mentor, and take the flexibility Kohls is genuinely proud of.

Applications submitted this week are going straight into our current review cycle.
