Company mission
Bishop Fox's mission is to help businesses minimize their exposure to cyber threats by providing an offensive, forward defense cyber threat prevention platform.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience planning, conducting, and managing web application penetration tests
- Deep understanding of application security fundamentals, OWASP Top 10, common vulnerabilities, and secure development best practices
- Experience assessing vulnerabilities and developing exploits across diverse targets
- Strong understanding of system and network security, authentication protocols, security protocols, and applied cryptography
- Ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly and provide practical remediation guidance to technical and executive audiences
Desirable
- Deep experience in at least one of the following:
- Cloud Security - Experience assessing AWS cloud environments, including technologies such as IAM, EC2, VPC, EBS, S3, CloudWatch, and Lambda
- Mobile Application Security - Experience testing iOS and/or Android applications, including mobile application architecture, API communication, data storage, authentication flows, and common mobile security vulnerabilities
- Source Assisted Application Assessments: Experience evaluating applications across multiple layers, including source code, APIs, infrastructure, and integrations. Strong proficiency in Golang is highly preferred, along with familiarity in languages such as Python, Ruby, PowerShell, Java, and JavaScript
- Network Security - Experience with network and system exploitation, including modern tactics, techniques, and procedures such as C2 frameworks, EDR bypass, privilege escalation, password cracking, and lateral movement
- AI/LLM Security - Experience assessing non-deterministic security controls
What the job involves
- Bishop Fox is looking for experienced contract penetration testers with a primary focus in web application security and strong secondary expertise in cloud, mobile, source code, network, or AI/LLM security
- You’ll work on a range of projects, from short-term assessments to longer-term program engagements with well-established clients. In this role, you’ll identify vulnerabilities, validate risk, develop creative solutions, and clearly communicate findings and remediation guidance to both technical and executive stakeholders
- As a trusted advisor, you’ll help clients understand risk and make informed security decisions
Our take
Cybersecurity software is used by many businesses across the world to mitigate their cyber risk, yet breaches are still common. A prime reason for this is the lack of visibility businesses have into the roots of their IT and data stacks, making it difficult to truly understand and prevent future attacks.
Bishop Fox sets itself apart through its offensive cyber threat prevention platform which is focused on applying a "forward defense" approach (with risk visibility and prevention instead of reaction). The company achieves this by mapping IT stacks to facilitate real-time visibility of attack perimeters, applying complex real-world cyber threat scenarios to assess resilience, and conducting continuous attack emulations.
The attack surface management category has grown in importance in recent years, especially for software. As a result, the market has become increasingly crowded. Bishop Fox has, however, raised impressive funding, which is being used to grow its team and expand its product offering in order to further set itself apart.
