Job description

Job Title: Application Offensive Security Consultant
Location: Jersey City, NJ
Duration: 6 Months Contract-to-Hire


Position Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Application Offensive Security Consultant to join our Application Security team as part of a broader Technology Risk initiative. This role will focus on manual application security testing and red teaming, going beyond standard vulnerability scanning.

We're looking for a hands-on practitioner with 5–6 years of consistent experience in application security—someone who enjoys breaking applications, participating in Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges, and uncovering real-world vulnerabilities. Certifications are not required, but demonstrated skill and curiosity are essential.


Key Responsibilities:
  • Perform offensive security testing of applications and APIs.

  • Conduct manual application security assessments (beyond automated scans).

  • Threat hunt across applications to identify risk exposures.

  • Document findings clearly in predefined reporting formats.

  • Collaborate with security architects, risk managers, and engineering teams.

  • Provide subject matter expertise on application security issues.

  • Support continuous improvement of application defense strategies.


Qualifications:

Must-Have:

  • 6+ years of experience testing web applications.

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience using tools like Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP.

  • Strong knowledge of OWASP Top 10, with the ability to manually identify vulnerabilities.

  • Understanding of MITRE ATT&CK framework and adversarial methodologies.

  • Ability to write clear, actionable assessment reports.

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Certifications in offensive security (e.g., OSCP, GXPN, etc.)

  • Participation in CTFs or platforms like HackTheBox, TryHackMe, etc.

  • Completion of advanced red teaming/penetration testing training.

  • Strong multitasking skills and ability to thrive under pressure.


This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate security professional who enjoys working on high-impact projects and continuously honing their craft in offensive application security.
