Junior Penetration Tester

Reference: r17l9c0ydp5hs2gmd286

We are seeking a motivated Junior Penetration Tester to join a collaborative cybersecurity team. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career security professional to develop practical experience across a range of penetration testing and vulnerability assessment activities. You will work alongside experienced testers to identify, validate, and clearly communicate security weaknesses affecting applications, infrastructure, networks, cloud environments, and endpoints.

Your responsibilities will include supporting the planning and delivery of authorised penetration tests, performing reconnaissance and vulnerability identification, reviewing test results, and assisting with the safe exploitation of vulnerabilities under controlled conditions. You will help document evidence, assess risk, and contribute to clear, accurate client-facing reports. You may also assist with remediation validation, security research, tooling improvements, and internal knowledge-sharing sessions. All work must be conducted ethically, within agreed scopes, and in accordance with relevant laws, policies, and testing standards.

Applicants should have a foundational understanding of information security, networking, operating systems, web technologies, and common attack techniques. Familiarity with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark, or similar security-testing platforms is desirable, as is some practical experience gained through laboratories, personal projects, coursework, or recognised certifications. Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills are essential, along with attention to detail, a methodical approach, and a willingness to learn. An understanding of testing frameworks such as OWASP, PTES, or OSSTMM would be advantageous. The successful candidate will demonstrate integrity, curiosity, professionalism, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Relevant qualifications or certifications are welcome but are not essential where practical capability can be demonstrated.
