Penetration Tester

Landgraf Defense is an early-stage cybersecurity firm offering vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and fractional-CISO advisory to small and mid-size businesses. We’re looking for a technically certified security professional to join as a founding partner - not a standard hire - and build the delivery side of the business alongside a business/sales-focused co-founder.

This is a ground-floor opportunity: you’ll shape service offerings, pricing, and technical methodology from day one, with a direct path to equity ownership as the business scales.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration tests for SMB clients
• Design and deliver findings reports and remediation guidance
• Advise clients on security posture as a fractional resource
• Help refine service packaging and technical credibility in client-facing meetings

• OSCP required (or actively pursuing); CEH/GPEN a plus
• Demonstrated hands-on experience in offensive security or vulnerability assessment
• Comfort working directly with small-business clients, not just technical teams
• Entrepreneurial mindset - this is a startup, not an established firm

$40,000 - $80,000 a year - Permanent, Part-time, Contract, Pulled from the full job description

• Employee assistance program
• Flexible schedule, Structured as founding-partner equity plus performance-based draws, targeting $40,000-$80,000 annually as revenue ramps in year one, with upside tied directly to business growth. This is not a fixed W-2 salary role.

Pay: $40,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year
