The role
KyKR pays $90,000 - $126,000 for a Penetration Tester in Lorain, OH who can hold a Metasploit design in their head and still see the gaps. Everything here scales with you — $90,000 - $126,000 at 6 years, technology ownership soon after, and a KyKR ladder above.
Key Responsibilities
- Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Organization acceptance criteria
- Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
- Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Lorain, OH production without dropping the baton
- Wire PKI APIs to Networking consumers so data lands where Lorain teams expect it
- Build PKI dashboards so KyKR's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
- Profile Wireshark memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Lorain nodes
- Own data integrity across KyKR's SIEM stores so Lorain numbers never lie
What You'll Bring
- Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
- Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
- Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
- Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
- Proven Wireshark results, ideally seasoned in Lorain, OH
You can trace a lot of OH's technology momentum back to a service-minded little team called KyKR in Lorain. Ownership at KyKR means you fix the broken thing even when nobody assigned it to you.
Secure $90,000 - $126,000, flexible remote options, equity, and a mentorship program designed to help you reach the next senior.
