Job description
We're supporting a major global tech client in scaling their elite application security team. They're hiring two Penetration Testers with deep Android mobile expertise to uncover security flaws, reverse engineer complex APKs, and assess high-impact risks across mobile ecosystems.

The Role:
- Conduct in-depth penetration testing on Android applications
- Reverse engineer mobile apps to uncover security weaknesses
- Analyse malware risks, obfuscation layers, and potential exploit vectors
- Work alongside automation tools while delivering deep, human-led security insight
Requirements
- Proven hands-on experience in Android penetration testing
- Strong background in reverse engineering APKs and analysing obfuscated code
- A security-first mindset with the ability to think like a sophisticated attacker
Nice to Have:
- Experience working in large security consultancies or antivirus environments
- Exposure to large-scale mobile platforms, app stores, or critical systems vetting
