Do you have a passion for learning? Do you get excited at the thought of learning new technical environments and developing new skills with every project? Do you strive to make every project better than the one before? If you answered “YES!” to these questions, then you are Schellman material!
There is no typical day for our SOC teams. While our lead focus is on SOC examinations, our clients also rely on us to perform multiple types of attestations similar to SOC across a variety of network, application, or cloud environments. The benefit of being exposed to so many different situations is that you are constantly building your knowledge base and skill set while keeping up with the latest technologies. Our teams are mostly remote (yet extremely collaborative) and work together to utilize their unique backgrounds and experience to provide the high level of quality service that our clients have come to expect.
In addition to the hands-on knowledge you’ll develop with each project, Schellman also promotes a continuous learning environment. Team members are encouraged to attend at least one training event every year to build upon their skills and acquire new certifications.
