Want to lead a team of penetration testers and security practitioners? This is the job for you. Abricto Security is an information security consulting firm specializing in penetration testing and cloud security. We’re based just North of Atlanta in Peachtree Corners, but we’re a remote first company, meaning we only come together once a month for an all-hands meeting to share ideas and build comradery. Otherwise the only travel required would be for client kick-off meetings and the occasional in-person debrief. Total travel is roughly 15 – 20% but mostly day trips so you’ll be home for dinner with your family.

This role will be responsible for delivering a broad range of penetration tests including wireless, web app, mobile app, network, IoT and more. More importantly, this person needs to be a solid mentor capable of training and collaborating with other security consultants. Conference speaking is a big plus, and we’re looking for at least 5 years of prior penetration testing consulting experience.
