Reasons to Work With Us
Here are 8 reasons why Fluid Attacks is a great place to work:
Hackers that develop their own tools
When we have projects, we hack applications or corporate networks. When
we do not have projects, we develop our own software tools. This is why
we are looking for hackers that are passionate about programming. Our
favorite technologies are Linux
, Git
, Python
, Docker
, Ansible
,
and Amazon Web Services
. It does not matter if you have not yet
mastered these tools. With Fluid Attacks, what matters is your
capacity to self-teach and learn new skills to address challenges we
face on a daily basis, the discipline with which you face challenges,
the honesty to say what needs to be said, and the ability to listen and
communicate in a manner that fosters respectful and equal collaboration
with other team members.
Do you want to take part in the most challenging selection process there
is? A selection process where no matter the result, you will learn more
than with any other company? If so, then we invite you to participate
and see for yourself that with Fluid Attacks it is better to do then
to know. Our selection process is guided using Git
, provides feedback
through continuous integration and allows you to improve your world
ranking in programming and hacking, as well as your GitLab
profile.
You don’t need to have graduated, nor be enrolled in a college or
university, nor have any specific work experience. The only thing that
matters is that you show us you can learn, on your own, at an expected
rate.
Short projects and high rotations
70%
of the company’s projects are small (less than 1
month) and
medium (1
to 6
months). This allows you to constantly become
familiar with new organizations, different problems, different methods,
and to broaden your knowledge.
Continuous improvement based on International Standards
Fluid Attacks was the first company in Colombia to obtain an
ISO/IEC 27001
(Information Security) certification at the same time as
we obtained the ISO 9001
certificate. Also, our continuous improvement
process uses the ISO/IEC 17025
and Common Criteria standards as a
reference for all security tests.
Work with industry leaders
Fluid Attacks provides information security services to some of the
biggest organizations in Colombia. This means that there will always be
challenging projects in which you can participate. Our clients include:
Bancolombia, Colpatria, Davivienda, (the biggest banks in the country),
UNE
, ETB
, EDATEL
, Claro (the biggest ISPs in the country) and many
more.
Great talent working together
Our most valuable asset is our people and we are proud of our amazing
team. In fact, it is a very young team with an average age of 25
. We
believe our talented team makes Fluid Attacks a competitive place to
work and, at the same time, a great place to learn and develop your skills.
The first three Debian
developers in Colombia work with Fluid Attacks.
Compared to other companies, Fluid Attacks has the highest
percentage of employees certified in
CEH
