Developer Mid level Senior Contractor

Invadel is a New York City penetration testing firm. Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price, agreed in writing, with public prices at invadel.com/pricing and a free retest. This is a contract role, remote within the United States, paid per engagement; engagements run five to ten testing days plus a retest and are performed within each provider’s penetration testing policy.

What you will do: review IAM policies, roles and trust relationships, storage exposure, compute and container configuration, network controls, secrets handling and logging against the CIS foundations benchmark; attempt privilege escalation and data access from an assumed-breach position and document the attack path and blast radius; record whether the client’s detection would have caught each step; write the report with CVSS-scored findings, prioritized remediation and compliance mapping, then retest; leave nothing persistent behind.

What we need: four or more years of cloud security work with hands-on offensive testing on at least two of AWS, Azure and GCP; working fluency with infrastructure as code, containers and Kubernetes; based in the United States with authorization to work here; reports written for engineers and auditors, with a redacted sample report as part of the application; two professional references.

Nice to have: internal network and Active Directory testing; experience producing evidence for SOC 2, PCI DSS or HIPAA audits. An offensive security certification is welcome; it does not replace a verifiable engagement record.
