Genesis10 is currently seeking an Application Penetration Tester - Hybrid position with a Global Financial Institution located in Charlotte, NC, Dallas, TX, Minneapolis, MN, Chandler, AZ, Des Moines, IA, Columbus, OH, Raleigh, NC, San Antonio, TX, or Washington, DC. This is a 12+ month contract opportunity.

In this role, you will identify, validate, and exploit security vulnerabilities through hands-on, manual testing across a broad range of application technologies. The focus will be on browser-based/web and API testing, with additional experience in mobile, mainframe, or thick client testing being valuable. The successful candidate will deliver high-confidence, reproducible vulnerabilities with clear evidence and practical remediation guidance, and partner with application teams to drive timely fixes.

Responsibilities:
  • Conduct application penetration testing across browser-based/web applications, APIs, and mobile applications (and where applicable mainframe and thick client applications) using primarily manual techniques supplemented by automated tools
  • Include authentication/authorization testing and business-logic abuse cases where applicable
  • Configure and tune automated tools to support testing, improve coverage, and accelerate discovery (as a complement to manual testing)
  • Perform deep defect analysis by reproducing, validating, and safely demonstrating impact (including chained attack paths when applicable)
  • Triage and disposition false positives from automated tooling
  • Produce clear, reproducible technical reports with evidence (steps to reproduce, impacted components/endpoints, and risk/impact) and practical remediation guidance
  • Collaborate with application and security teams to ensure shared understanding of defects, prioritization, and remediation paths
  • Support continuous improvement of testing methodologies and processes leveraging industry standards and best practices
  • Collaborate with other members of the team to share knowledge and complete peer reviews of reports
  • Communicate findings and risk clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Requirements:
  • 4 years of Cyber Security Research experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work or consulting experience, training, military experience, education
  • 2 years of hands-on application penetration testing experience (manual testing required), beyond reviewing/validating automated scanner results
  • 2 years of Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) experience, including tool configuration/tuning and manual verification of findings
Desired Skills:
  • Advanced experience with testing tools such as Burp Suite, Invicti, WebInspect, and Fiddler
  • Strong knowledge of application security and common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10)
  • Experience with scripting and automation (e.g., Python, Shell)
  • Knowledge of security best practices and compliance standards (e.g., PCI DSS, GDPR)
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Demonstrated knowledge of AI/ML-enabled applications and common security risks (for example, prompt injection, sensitive data exposure, and insecure integrations)
  • Security certifications such as OSCP, BSCP, GWAPT, GPEN, GXPN or equivalent are a plus

Pay range: $51.72 - $59.72 per hour
