Cyber Testers
- Cybersecurity tester with 4+ years of experience doing application and network security testing, writing findings, and partnering with developers to fix issues.
- Performed web and API security testing for a fintech client and identified common OWASP vulnerabilities; delivered test reports and remediation guidance.
- Automated security regression tests using Python scripts and Burp Suite extensions to make testing more consistent and reduce overall test effort.
- Supported red team exercises and phishing simulations, working with the SOC to validate alerting and improve detection coverage.
- Managed vulnerability scanning (Nessus/Qualys) and tracked remediation in Jira; helped improve audit readiness and general compliance posture.
- Tools: Burp Suite, Nessus, Qualys, Metasploit, nmap, Wireshark, Jira, Git | Certification: CompTIA Security+ (in progress)
Overview
- Add measurable outcomes (severity, counts, time saved) and business context to key bullets.
- Clarify scope: your role, systems tested, and methodology (SAST/DAST, OWASP ASVS, MITRE ATT&CK, etc.).
- Tighten tool and cert claims (avoid vague phrasing; specify what you built and what you can run end-to-end).
Suggestions
Rewrite to include scope (apps/endpoints), methodology, and quantified results. Example: "Executed OWASP ASVS-based web/API tests on 6 production microservices (REST/GraphQL); identified 18 findings (5 high), validated exploitability in a staging environment, and partnered with 3 squads to close 80% within 30 days."
The current bullet is credible but generic; hiring teams need scale (how many apps/endpoints), rigor (standard used), and impact (findings severity and remediation outcomes).

Specify what was automated (which checks), how it integrated (CI/CD, nightly job), and the measurable time/quality gain. Example: "Built Python-based DAST smoke suite (auth, IDOR, injection checks) triggered in GitLab CI; cut manual retest time from ~6 hrs/release to 2 hrs and reduced escaped vuln reopens by 25%."
"More consistent" and "reduce overall test effort" are hard to evaluate without concrete before/after numbers and integration details.

Automated security regression tests using Python scripts and Burp Suite extensions to make testing more consistent and reduce overall test effort.
Define your role and the framework used, plus outcomes (detections added, MTTD/alert quality). Example: "Executed 12 ATT&CK-mapped purple-team scenarios (credential dumping, lateral movement) and tuned 9 SIEM rules; improved true-positive rate from 40% to 65% and reduced triage time by 20%."
Red team support can mean logistics, execution, or analysis; clarifying ownership and the measurable detection improvements makes this bullet more senior and credible.

Replace "helped improve" with concrete remediation workflow metrics and coverage. Example: "Owned weekly vuln scan program across 120 hosts; triaged and risk-rated findings, created Jira tickets with CVSS/context, and drove remediation SLA adherence from 55% to 85% (30-day SLA for criticals)."
Scanning is common; what differentiates you is asset scope, how you prioritize risk, and how effectively you drive remediation outcomes.

Managed vulnerability scanning (Nessus/Qualys) and tracked remediation in Jira; helped improve audit readiness and general compliance posture.
Tighten tool list to match what you can confidently demonstrate, and clarify cert status with a date. Example: "CompTIA Security+ (scheduled Apr 2026)" and consider grouping tools by use: "DAST: Burp; Scanning: Nessus/Qualys; Network: nmap/Wireshark; Exploitation: Metasploit (lab)."
A long tool list without proficiency context can read as keyword-stuffing; specifying level and timelines reduces ambiguity and boosts trust.
