Company Mission – Our mission is to help secure as many companies as possible, by using the best way of doing so: penetration testing. Sprocket Security prioritizes offensive security for enterprises, empowering them to build robust defense strategies based on individual business risk.
How – At Sprocket Security, we've built an expert-driven Continuous Penetration Testing platform that blends cutting-edge automated and manual testing methods.
Your Mission – You are the human judgment layer at the front of our offensive automation pipeline. You decide what's real, get severity right, and make sure every finding reads like Sprocket wrote it before it ever reaches a client.
Responsibilities:
- Triage, validate, and QA findings surfaced by Sprocket's automation. Reproduce, confirm true positives, and eliminate false positives before anything reaches a client.
- Author and refine findings to client-ready quality in the Sprocket voice, and publish them through the platform.
- Calibrate severity to real business impact against Sprocket's standards, judging real-world impact over theoretical.
- Handle roughly 90% of findings independently and make accurate handle-versus-escalate decisions using the platform workflow, escalating the hard 10% to an Adversarial Engineer with full context attached.
- Feed pattern-level signal back to R&D and the Adversarial Engineering team to tune attack automations and cut false positives at the source. You'll be one of the tightest feedback loops we have into R&D.
- Log validation notes, flag false-positive patterns, and contribute to the knowledge base.
- Script away repetitive validation steps wherever they appear.
- Partner with your fellow R&D team members and the Service Delivery team on the automation feedback loop and client-experience improvements.
- Seek to programmatically enhance automation pipeline with new or updated capabilities when triage is complete and capacity allows, pairing with an Adversarial Engineer as needed.
- Attend daily standups, weekly 1:1s, monthly company calls, and all-hands.
