  • Support IT and Network analysts with clear vulnerability descriptions, triage steps, severity logic, and escalation guidance.
  • Improve external asset tracking, perimeter health records, and exposure trend mapping.
  • Track external vulnerability gaps, emulation success rates, remediation times, asset health, and perimeter exposure.
What you'll bring

  • Familiarity with testing physical office network hardware, routers, switches, firewalls, and workplace IT systems.
  • Ability to turn external exposures and technical network risks into clear, actionable fixes for IT and Security teams.
  • Experience with core web vulnerabilities and limited, scoped testing of modern API interfaces.
  • Strong scripting ability in Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar to automate perimeter mapping, emulation workflows, and asset discovery.
  • Good understanding of scanning, reconnaissance, and interception tools.
