Chicago, IL

I'm working with an established organisation looking to bring an experienced Vulnerability & Penetration Testing Engineer into its security team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on security testing but also wants to take ownership of tools, processes and assessments across a complex enterprise environment.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading penetration testing and vulnerability assessments across applications, systems and infrastructure.
• Acting as a technical SME for vulnerability and penetration testing.
• Managing security testing tools, platforms and processes.
• Identifying, validating and reporting vulnerabilities, with practical recommendations for remediation.
• Supporting security assessments of modern applications, including AI-enabled technologies.

What we're looking for:

• Strong hands-on experience in penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
• Experience with industry-standard security testing and assessment tools.
• Strong knowledge of OWASP, CVEs, application security and common attack techniques.
• Experience testing web applications, APIs and mobile platforms.
• Additional offensive security certifications would be a bonus.

What's in it for you?

• Base $140k-$150k
• Hybrid Flexible working
• 401k
• Medical Insurnace
• Generous PTO

This would suit someone who enjoys the technical side of security, takes ownership of their work and wants to make a real impact within an established security function.
