Join an innovative and exciting company with a strong profile in the cybersecurity space! I'm seeking a highly skilled Application Penetration Tester to become a crucial part of a great growing team. If you're looking for an opportunity to take your advanced web application testing skills to the next level, and dabble in OffSec and Red Team, working alongside a talented team, this is the role for you.

The Role:

As an Application Penetration Tester, you will work at a Principal Consultant level, leveraging your deep expertise in web application security to identify vulnerabilities, provide clear remediation advice, and occasionally work on offensive tool development. The role is hybrid with some flexibility, allowing you to work remotely with occasional visits to London depending on your location.

What You'll be doing:

  • Advanced Web Application Testing: Conduct in-depth penetration testing of complex web applications, identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities.
  • Code Review and Offensive Tool creation: Leverage your background in development to review code, write offensive tools, and provide actionable remediation advice to developers and system owners.
  • Client Collaboration: Work closely with clients to communicate findings, provide guidance, and help secure their applications against emerging threats.
  • Team Growth and Mentorship: Collaborate with and support a skilled team of testers, sharing knowledge and growing together into more advanced adversarial simulation and red teaming projects.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in web application penetration testing, ideally at a Principal Consultant level or similar.
  • Technical Skills: Strong capability in advanced web application testing, with a background in development, offensive tool creation, and code auditing preferred.
  • Certifications: While CHECK status is not required, relevant certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, OSWA, CREST CRT, or CCT App are highly desirable.
  • Remediation Expertise: Proven ability to provide effective remediation advice to developers and system owners.
  • Adversarial Interest: A keen interest in expanding into adversarial simulation, red teaming, and more advanced testing scenarios.
  • UK Work Rights: Must have full and permanent right to work in the UK (UK Nationals or those with ILR). Unfortunately, we cannot offer visa support for PSW or out-of-country applicants.

Why Join Us?

  • Innovative Environment: Be part of a dynamic and growing team, working on exciting projects with real impact.
  • Competitive Package: Up to £100k salary with benefits and flexibility around your work location.
  • Growth Opportunities: Develop your skills in more adversarial roles and explore new avenues in cybersecurity.
