The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Growth Solutions is hiring a Penetration Tester in Palmdale, CA.

• Role description

  Our technology stack is growing faster than our team, so Growth Solutions is bringing on a Penetration Tester to keep the architecture honest. Look past the title and you'll see $91,000 - $137,000, a CA base, and a mid-level role that asks you to lead, not just execute.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Metasploit acceptance criteria
  • Keep Communication schemas backward-compatible so Growth Solutions never forces a breaking upgrade
  • Bridge Security Awareness Training and PCI DSS so the two halves of Growth Solutions's platform finally talk
  • Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity
  • Mentor newer mid-level hires on how Growth Solutions actually wires Security Awareness Training together
  • Tune Digital Forensics caching so Growth Solutions survives the Palmdale launch spike on the same hardware

  What You'll Bring

  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
  • Demonstrated calm when a Palmdale, CA client changes scope mid-stream
  • Demonstrated knack for making the outcome-focused feel manageable
  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings

  Growth Solutions earns its keep by making technology predictable, a deeply-curious promise it has quietly kept across CA. We hire for character and quietly-ambitious thinking, then trust the rest to follow.

  The compensation here starts at $91,000 - $137,000, paired with unlimited PTO and a manager committed to your professional growth.

  We bumped this posting hours ago because the role is still very much open.

  Apply now and a real person from Growth Solutions will get back to you, not an autoresponder.
