Careers at CenterCity

We're growing. Come help us place the best tech talent in the country β€” and keep our own house in order while we're at it.

Information Security Officer New role

IT Β· FULL-TIME Β· ON-SITE Β· URGENT

We spend our days modernizing our clients' technology β€” yet CenterCity has never had a dedicated security role of its own. Our own systems have been secured "as time allows," and with a client audit approaching, we know that isn't good enough. This is our first-ever internal security hire.

You'll build the program from scratch: enforce MFA, kill password reuse, patch or retire aging systems, and finally decommission the legacy hardware everyone keeps meaning to get to. Physician, heal thyself.

Senior Systems Administrator

IT OPERATIONS Β· FULL-TIME Β· ON-SITE

Join the team that keeps CenterCity's own infrastructure running β€” the systems 2,400 consultants and every client engagement depend on. You'll work alongside our IT Operations lead Marcus Delgado to modernize aging systems and retire legacy hardware.

Requirements: 5+ years Linux administration, networking fundamentals, and a healthy distrust of anything running past its support date.

Client Delivery Consultant

DELIVERY Β· FULL-TIME Β· HYBRID

Be the link between the consultants we place and the clients they work for β€” keep engagements on track and clients happy. Reports to Ben Whitfield.

Find the websites & servers a company has online

Type in a company's web address and this lists the other sites and servers linked to it β€” things like their mail server, login pages, and old forgotten machines. It doesn't touch the company at all; it just reads public records that are already out there for anyone to see.

Hint Β· 01

Stuck? Two nudges.

  • Marcus Delgado tends to reuse the same password, and sets up accounts with it everywhere. Find it, and it may just help you get in.
  • Marcus is an employee β€” he doesn't sign in through the Client login. How could you find out where he checks his email?
Close this tab and keep going β€” you've got this.
Hint Β· 02

Nice try 😏

You didn't really think it was gonna be this easy, did you? But I applaud your hacking mindset β€” good job!

No shortcuts here. Back to work, hacker.
Hint Β· advanced
  • What user ID are you? What user ID has all the cool additional privileges? And what's with all these question marks? Could they have a function? This is getting to be quite a long query string, isn't it?
  • How do you get a system to run more than one command (ping …)? In a terminal, there's a character that lets you tack a second command onto the first.
  • The system you've found runs a Linux-based operating system, and you're controlling it through something called a terminal. What other Linux commands might be worth running there to reach your goal? In other words: Are you a dog person, or do you prefer cat's?
That's as far as I'll spell it out. Go try it.
