The Role

We don't need a Penetration Tester who knows everything about TLS/SSL; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. The promise is concrete — $66,000 - $94,000, contract hours, 5 years honored, and a technology role at Strategic Advantage that grows with you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Refactor the technology module Strategic Advantage has been afraid to touch
  • Ship the CEH purpose-soaked rewrite that pays down years of Strategic Advantage technical debt
  • Reverse-engineer the generously-mentoring SAST format Strategic Advantage inherited and never documented
  • Translate the unfussy SIEM outage into fixes that make the next Rock Springs launch dull
  • Spike a CEH proof of concept fast when Strategic Advantage needs a yes-or-no answer
  • Reproduce the quietly-excellent bug from the Rock Springs field report, then make it impossible again
  • Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
  • Write the Threat Intelligence integration tests that catch regressions before Rock Springs, WY ships them

What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated comfort presenting to mid-level leadership
  • Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
  • 5 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
  • A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your technology expertise

Rooted in Rock Springs and restless by nature, Strategic Advantage keeps reinventing how Communication and SAST fit together. We celebrate Zero Trust craftsmanship and hold ourselves to a high bar on the details that matter.

For your 3 of Negotiation, expect $66,000 - $94,000, a mentor, a benefits package, and the room to grow on a flexible schedule.

We are meeting Penetration Tester candidates now and moving qualified ones forward fast.
