  • Familiarity with U.S. Government security policy requirements.
  • Experience coordinating with multi-agency or cross-organizational IT teams.
  • Expertise with common tools such as Kali Linux, Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Nessus/Tenable, and Wireshark.

  • Estimated Duration: TBD
  • Work Location: Fully Remote
  • Clearances: Not required, but government experience is a plus

Rate: $50-85/hr (1099 or Corp. to Corp.) This range represents a good-faith estimate and is not a guarantee; final compensation is determined by factors such as experience, qualifications, and government contract labor rate requirements and may fall outside the stated range.
