Your responsibilities will include planning and delivering authorised penetration tests across web applications, APIs, mobile applications, internal and external networks, wireless environments, cloud platforms and social engineering engagements where appropriate. You will conduct reconnaissance, vulnerability analysis and controlled exploitation using a combination of manual techniques and industry-standard tools. You will document evidence accurately, assess risk, prepare high-quality reports and present findings to stakeholders. You will also support remediation activities, validate fixes through retesting and contribute to the continual improvement of testing methodologies, tools and service offerings.
Applicants should have proven experience in penetration testing, ethical hacking or a closely related cyber security role, together with a solid understanding of common vulnerabilities and attack techniques. Experience with frameworks such as OWASP, OSSTMM, PTES or MITRE ATT&CK is desirable. Relevant certifications, such as CREST, OSCP, CRT, CHECK, GPEN or equivalent, would be advantageous. You should be comfortable using tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit and vulnerability scanners, while also demonstrating strong scripting or programming skills in languages such as Python, PowerShell, Bash or JavaScript. Excellent written and verbal communication, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple engagements are essential. A commitment to professional ethics, confidentiality and continuous learning is expected.
