Cyber Security Penetration Tester
We are seeking a Cyber Security Penetration Tester to identify, assess, and help remediate security weaknesses across applications, infrastructure, networks, cloud environments, and supporting technologies. You will plan and conduct authorised penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and security reviews, using a combination of manual techniques and industry-standard tools. The role will involve simulating realistic attack scenarios while maintaining a strong focus on safety, accuracy, and minimal operational disruption.
Your responsibilities will include defining test scopes and methodologies, performing reconnaissance and exploitation activities, validating findings, and evaluating the potential business impact of identified vulnerabilities. You will produce clear, evidence-based reports for both technical and non-technical audiences, providing practical remediation guidance and prioritised risk ratings. You will also collaborate with development, infrastructure, and security teams to explain findings, support remediation efforts, retest fixes, and contribute to continuous improvements in security controls and testing processes.
Applicants should have proven experience in penetration testing, ethical hacking, or an equivalent cyber security role, with a solid understanding of application, network, system, and cloud security principles. Practical knowledge of common vulnerabilities, attack methodologies, and tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, or comparable platforms is expected. Experience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, or JavaScript will be advantageous. Relevant certifications, including CREST, OSCP, OSWE, CEH, or equivalent, are desirable. You should demonstrate strong analytical and report-writing skills, professional integrity, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple assignments while working effectively with stakeholders. All testing must be conducted within approved legal and ethical boundaries.
