We’re looking for talented, experienced professional hackers to help us secure some of the world’s most complex software and sophisticated technologies. You’ll be working alongside our US and other internationally-based teams supporting clients across multiple industries. 

Who You Are and What You’ll Do

You fancy yourself a Pentester. You know your way around source code. You’ve plundered apps and pillaged networks (legally, of course). You have a passion for hacking and information security. If you’re not already doing it professionally, you’re pen testing in your free time. You may also have written a few blog posts about your favorite hacks or have presented at a handful of conferences – with an eye to doing more.

With Bishop Fox, your responsibilities would include testing web applications, hacking networks, and reversing software. Some days, you’ll be red teaming wireless networks and physically breaking into buildings. Other days, you’ll be analyzing source code and building threat models. Every day at Bishop Fox, you’ll be learning.

As a consultant, you’ll work on a variety of projects which include short-term engagements and extended program work with well-established clients, you'll solve challenging technical problems and build creative solutions. As a trusted advisor, you’ll provide your expert opinion to help our clients navigate difficult business decisions.                                                       

Your Education and Experience

You just have to be good at and, most importantly, love what you do. Don’t worry about a piece of paper; we won’t. Here’s a list of qualities we’re looking for:

• Penetration testing and code review skills
• Vulnerability assessment experience
• Understanding security fundamentals and common vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top Ten)
• 2+ years of application security experience
• Additional experience in Cloud security; background in system and network security, authentication and security protocols, and applied cryptography are helpful
• Scripting/programming skills (e.g., Python, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, etc.)
• Network and web-related protocol knowledge (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP, IPSEC, HTTP, HTTPS, routing protocols)
• Advanced relevant academic training is a definite bonus
