We are seeking an experienced Penetration Testing Engineer at Vice President level to lead and deliver sophisticated security assessments across applications, infrastructure, cloud environments, networks, and emerging technologies. The successful candidate will combine strong technical expertise with strategic leadership, helping to identify and communicate security risks before they can be exploited. This role requires an individual who can operate independently, influence senior stakeholders, and contribute to the continued development of a high-performing offensive security function.

Responsibilities will include planning and executing red team exercises, penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and adversary simulation engagements. You will assess complex environments, develop attack paths, validate security controls, and produce clear, evidence-based reports with practical remediation guidance. The role will also involve presenting findings to technical and executive audiences, mentoring junior and senior testers, reviewing assessment quality, improving methodologies, and supporting the development of automated tools and repeatable testing processes. You may also contribute to threat modelling, security architecture reviews, incident response investigations, and regulatory or audit-related activities.

Applicants should have significant professional experience in penetration testing, red teaming, or offensive security, together with a strong understanding of networks, operating systems, web applications, APIs, cloud platforms, identity systems, and common security frameworks. Proficiency with scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar is expected. Experience with tools including Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, BloodHound, Cobalt Strike, or comparable technologies is highly desirable. Industry certifications such as OSCP, OSEP, OSWE, GPEN, GXPN, CREST, or equivalent practical experience are advantageous. Excellent written and verbal communication, sound judgement, leadership capability, and the ability to manage multiple priorities are essential. A commitment to ethical conduct, continuous learning, and responsible disclosure is required.
