Job Description:

Are you passionate about cybersecurity and looking to work with some of the best information security professionals in the world in challenging environments? Bank of America is hiring top talent to join our team. You bring your talent and passion, and we'll provide you with an opportunity to shine and grow.

The Cyber Security Assurance Division is looking for a Senior Full Stack Pentester to join a team of world-class offensive security professionals. In this role, you will diligently hunt for high-risk vulnerabilities across the bank's global technology environment. Understanding security policy and compliance is important, but in this role your focus is to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in critical systems; ones that can bring about that "nightmare scenario."

This is a highly-technical role that requires broad technical knowledge, a deep understanding of threats, and a hacker mentality. You will lead and participate in collaborative, technical assessments that leverage a wide range of penetration testing techniques (reconnaissance, weaponization, delivery, exploitation) to identify and prove the concept of high-risk vulnerabilities across a variety of technologies. Your strong problem-solving skills, practical demonstration of technical competency, and lateral thinking will contribute to our team-first culture of collaboration and impactful findings.

This senior technical role is responsible for leading and performing assessments of the bank's technologies, applications, and cyber security controls while adapting testing methods to evolving and emerging threats. Key responsibilities include leading and performing research, understanding the bank's security policy, working with appropriate partners to complete assessments, identifying misconfigurations and vulnerabilities to achieve security impact, and reporting on the associated risk. These individuals partner closely with security partners, CIO clients, and multiple lines of business.

You will coordinate with senior leadership on development projects, share your knowledge and experience by mentoring junior engineers, and assist with monitoring and response functions, so those teams can practice and improve their capability to respond to a realistic threat actor.

Required Skills:

  • Minimum of 5+ years of professional offensive security experience
  • Must be able to critically examine an organization and system through the perspective of a threat actor and articulate risk in clear, precise terms to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Must be very proficient with the common tools associated with penetration testing (Burp Suite, Metasploit, nmap, etc.).
  • Must have a solid understanding of voice and data networks, major operating systems, active directory, their associated peripherals, and a strong desire to learn new technologies and skill sets.
  • Must demonstrate knowledge of tactics, techniques, and procedures associated with malicious activity, an understanding of industry classifications and frameworks, and the ability to chain vulnerabilities in the advanced exploitation of systems.
  • Must be proficient in report delivery and technical documentation of vulnerabilities.
  • Must be able to effectively code in a programming or scripting language (Python, Java, C#, etc.)


Desirable Skills:
  • Certifications: OSCP, GPEN, GXPN, OSED, OSEP, OSWE, OSCE, GWAPT
  • Ability to work remotely if/when necessary
  • Previous experience working in the financial industry
  • Experience with hardware hacking, embedded systems analysis, and IoT hacking
