SENIOR SECURITY / QA LEAD

About the opportunity

Lead adversarial security testing, validate deterministic decision paths, and prove audit-trail tamper resistance for an enterprise-ready AI-driven platform.

About our client

Our client is preparing two AI-driven platforms for enterprise readiness, with a focus on security, correctness, and financial integrity ahead of a production launch.

What you'll do

• Design and lead adversarial security testing of the deterministic decision path.

• Attempt to defeat default-DENY, escalate privileges, or cross tenant boundaries, and prove that the boundaries hold.

• Test multi-tenant isolation and owner-versus-customer scoping through the platform’s roster subsystem, using real tenant-scoped identities.

• Verify the tamper-resistance of the hash-chained audit trail, including append-only behavior, hash-chain linkage, and detection of attempted mutation.

• Validate authentication and authorization across tenant and operator roles.

• Review and extend the existing per-module freeze-audit self-tests.

• Ensure every governance rule resolves through the live intake path to a real engine record.

• Rank findings by severity and provide clear reproduction steps in GitHub Issues.

• Keep findings in the same line of sight as the freeze-audit CI gate and uphold the merge gate (nothing lands unless freeze-audit CI is green).

• Partner with the client on architectural sign-off for any governance-core change.

What you bring (must-haves)

• Strong security-testing background, including penetration testing, authorization/access-control testing, or security QA against systems where boundary failure is the primary risk.

• Hands-on experience with Python and comfort reading a real codebase to design tests against it.

• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS and a practical understanding of tenant isolation failure modes.

• Practical understanding of cryptographic audit trails / hash chaining and how tamper-evidence is proven.

• Experience with Docker and CI-based workflows, including GitHub Actions or equivalent.

• Ability to work against a green-CI merge gate.

• Proficiency with Postgres for validating durable state and persistence.

• Clear written English.

• Strong ability to produce rigorous, reproducible defect reports.

Bonus points for (nice-to-haves)

• Experience testing policy engines, authorization systems, or agentic-AI guardrails.

• Exposure to SOC 2 controls and evidence expectations.

• Familiarity with Render or comparable container hosting.

• Background working in a regulated or safety-critical domain.
