We're opening a contract Penetration Tester role for an engineer fluent in Initiative and allergic to undocumented surprises. We pair a $80,000 - $120,000 salary with real responsibility, so the Penetration Tester you become here grows faster than the title suggests.
Key Responsibilities
- Refine and maintain microservices that support TJX Companies customers in Salem, OR
- Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems
- Apply Security Auditing and Nmap to solve hands-on engineering challenges
- Catch the high-trust Cryptography regression in staging before it ever reaches Salem customers
- Document the TLS/SSL system so the next mid-level engineer onboards in days, not weeks
- Slice the ownership-driven technology monolith into Nmap services Salem, OR can deploy alone
- Carry the Initiative platform work that makes TJX Companies's next OR expansion boring
- Hand off Cryptography runbooks so the next on-call at TJX Companies sleeps better
What You'll Bring
- 4+ years of NIST Cybersecurity Framework reps, not just NIST Cybersecurity Framework exposure
- Familiarity with the rhythms of a boldly-pragmatic contract team
- Prior experience working on-site in Salem, OR, or willingness to relocate
- Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
- Experience thriving in a deeply technical, deadline-driven setting like TJX Companies
- Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
TJX Companies is a small but empowering OR company that punches well above its weight in the technology space. Giving and receiving direct feedback is a skill we practice openly across every level.
This contract role pays $80,000 - $120,000 and includes flexible scheduling plus a structured plan to grow your Nmap expertise.
Live this hour, the technology role remains open and unclaimed.
We're hiring, and your application could be the one we've been waiting for.
