Job description

Tharros is seeking a Senior Penetration Testing, Software Assurance and Vulnerability Assessment Engineer to support a DHS Intelligence and Analysis cybersecurity program in the National Capital Region.
This role will support advanced penetration testing, software assurance, vulnerability assessment, cyber supply chain risk management, secure cloud and hybrid engineering, and cross-domain security assessment activities. The ideal candidate is a senior technical assessor who can go beyond automated scanning to identify systemic weaknesses, validate exploitability, assess operational impact, and provide clear remediation recommendations for complex mission environments.
Responsibilities:
  • Conduct penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, software assurance, and cyber supply chain risk management activities for Federal mission systems.
  • Perform full-scope security testing using established methodologies such as MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP, NIST 800-115, and related Federal or IC assessment practices.
  • Support pre-engagement planning, rules of engagement, intelligence gathering, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting.
  • Use approved automated and manual testing methods to identify vulnerabilities, validate exploitability, and assess potential business and operational impacts.
  • Identify vulnerabilities commonly missed by automated tools through manual, expert-driven testing techniques.
  • Assess SOC detection and response capabilities through controlled testing activities.
  • Produce penetration testing reports, vulnerability assessment reports, software assurance recommendations, and corrective action guidance.
  • Support software assurance through vulnerability and compliance testing, source code review, static/dynamic analysis, dependency review, and software supply chain risk identification.
  • Conduct vulnerability assessments and interpret results to recommend corrective actions and mitigation strategies.
  • Support secure cloud, hybrid, DevSecOps, application, identity, API, microservices, CI/CD, Zero Trust, and cross-domain assessment activities.
  • Maintain secure testing kits and assessment tooling, including patching, configuration updates, and approved tool management.
  • Update and maintain penetration testing, SCRM, and vulnerability assessment procedures.
  • Support audits, working groups, and stakeholder briefings related to penetration testing, software assurance, vulnerability assessment, and cyber supply chain risk.
  • Identify opportunities to improve testing processes, automate assessment workflows, strengthen reporting, and produce useful metrics for leadership and technical stakeholders.
  • Translate assessment findings into actionable remediation plans, risk insights, POA&M inputs, dashboards, and decision-ready reporting.
