Mission:
A Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Tester at Quantum Research International (QRI) must possess a deep understanding of both information security and computer science. They should understand basic concepts such as networking, applications, and operating system functionality and be able to learn advanced concepts such as application manipulation, exploit development, and stealthy operations. This is not a "press the 'pwn' button" type of job; this career is technical and challenging with opportunities to work in some of the most exciting areas of security consulting on extremely technical and challenging work. A typical job could be breaking into a segmented secure zone at a Defense Industrial Base (DIB) company, reverse engineering an application and encryption method in order to gain access to sensitive data, all without being detected. If you can exploit at scale while remaining stealthy, identify and exploit mis-configurations in network infrastructure, parse various types of output data, present relevant data in a digestible manner, think well outside the box, or are astute enough to quickly learn these skills, then you're the type of cyber security team member we're looking for.
At Quantum Research, you'll be faced with complex problem solving opportunities and hands-on testing opportunities on a regular basis. We help our clients protect their most sensitive and valuable data through comprehensive and real world scenario testing. The objective doesn't end at gaining "domain admin" or "root"; this is expected and is only a starting point.
You are expected to quickly assimilate new information as you will face new client environments on a weekly or monthly basis. You will be expected to understand all the threat vectors to each environment and properly assess them. Your work with us will assist you to develop new skills as you progress through your career.
