Cyber Security Penetration Tester
We are seeking a Cyber Security Penetration Tester to assess the security of applications, infrastructure, networks and cloud environments. You will plan and deliver authorised penetration tests, identify vulnerabilities and security weaknesses, and provide clear, evidence-based recommendations to reduce risk. The role will involve working across a range of technologies and testing methodologies, from external and internal infrastructure assessments to web and mobile application testing, wireless reviews, social engineering exercises and configuration assessments.
You will be responsible for scoping engagements, reviewing technical documentation, developing test plans, conducting reconnaissance and exploitation activities, and maintaining accurate records of findings. You will analyse results, validate vulnerabilities, assess business impact and produce high-quality reports for both technical and non-technical audiences. You may also be required to present findings to stakeholders, support remediation activities, perform retesting and contribute to the continual improvement of security testing processes, tools and methodologies. All activities must be performed responsibly, within agreed rules of engagement and in line with applicable legal and professional standards.
Applicants should have practical experience in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment or a closely related cyber security discipline, together with a strong understanding of common attack techniques, security controls and risk management. Familiarity with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark and vulnerability scanners is desirable, as is experience with scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell or Bash. Knowledge of web technologies, networking, operating systems, Active Directory and cloud platforms will be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications are welcome, but equivalent hands-on experience will also be considered. You should demonstrate strong analytical and communication skills, attention to detail, sound professional judgement and the ability to manage multiple assignments while meeting deadlines.
