Summary

This role will work collaboratively with the Security Penetration Testers to develop continuous testing automation tools that will increase OCC's security posture against all threats that put OCC’s organizational operations, assets or individuals at risk. The Security Penetration Testing Team engages in threat intelligence gathering, security control validation testing, firewall rule reviews, expedited and emergency change reviews, network penetration testing, web application penetration testing, mobile device testing, and more. Team members must ensure the availability and integrity of OCC’s operational systems and self-disclose identified findings in a timely/proactive manner.

This individual will primarily work with the OCC Security Penetration Team to help plan, design, and develop the infrastructure and custom code necessary to automate OCC’s current security control validation related activities.  This role will also assist with performing ad-hoc white-box penetration testing work of OCC’s infrastructure that is still currently in Development, or in need of pre-Production penetration testing. The position will involve interaction with multiple teams such as Security Architecture, Cyber Defense, Security Assurance, and various other Security and IT teams to coordinate white-box penetration testing engagements and re-test remediated Adversarial Red Team findings.

The ideal candidate will have Full Stack Developer experience with a strong enthusiasm for Security.  Experience building Cloud infrastructure for testing, and custom scripting expertise in at least one proficient language is required. This candidate must be driven, an excellent communicator, and have the enthusiasm to learn and stay ahead of today’s emerging threats and MITRE attack techniques.
