Penetration Tester - UK (Remote)
We are seeking a skilled Penetration Tester to join a remote security team supporting clients across the UK. In this role, you will assess the security of networks, applications, cloud environments and infrastructure, identifying vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. You will plan and conduct authorised penetration tests, perform reconnaissance and threat modelling, exploit weaknesses safely, and evaluate the potential business impact of your findings. The role may involve web application, API, internal and external infrastructure, wireless, mobile, social engineering and cloud security assessments.
You will be responsible for maintaining clear testing documentation, capturing reliable evidence and producing high-quality technical reports for both technical and non-technical audiences. You will explain vulnerabilities, rate risk appropriately and provide practical remediation guidance. You may also present findings to stakeholders, support retesting activities and contribute to improving testing methodologies, tooling and internal security practices. All work must be conducted ethically, professionally and in accordance with agreed rules of engagement, relevant legislation and recognised security standards.
Applicants should have commercial penetration testing experience and a strong understanding of common attack techniques, vulnerability management and secure configuration principles. Experience with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Kali Linux and relevant scripting languages is expected, alongside the ability to interpret source code or troubleshoot complex technical environments. Industry certifications such as CREST, OSCP, CHECK, CRT or equivalent are advantageous. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing assignments independently while working remotely. You should be curious, methodical and committed to continuous professional development. The successful candidate must be eligible to work in the UK and be available to work remotely, with occasional travel if required.
