  • 1-2+ years of penetration testing / ethical hacking experience.
  • Proficiency in external, web application, API, and cloud penetration testing.
  • Strong practical understanding of security tools, methodologies, and reporting best practices.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical findings to non-technical audiences.
  • A positive, driven attitude with a genuine passion for cyber security.
  • Certifications such as OSCP, CREST, OSCE (highly desirable but not mandatory).
  • Experience in mobile testing, secure code reviews, or cloud infrastructure is a bonus.

What’s on Offer

  • Clear career pathways and support to grow from Associate to Senior levels.
  • Ongoing professional development and certification opportunities.
  • Exposure to a wide variety of penetration testing environments and methodologies.
  • Collaborative, supportive team environment with flexibility and work-life balance.
  • Work on cutting-edge security engagements that make a real impact.

Why Join our client?

  • Be part of a high-performing, supportive, and inclusive team.
  • Engage in meaningful work delivering projects that make a difference.
