Penetration Tester

As a penetration tester in our CTAS team you'll play a vital role in helping our clients detect, understand and manage their security risks. You'll be responsible for undertaking rigorous tests that identify vulnerabilities which are present in the IT infrastructure, applications and networks on which our client's businesses rely. You'll employ both manual and automated techniques to simulate real world attacks which help our clients assess their security posture against any potential threats to their business. You'll also be expected to keep your knowledge of the ever-evolving threat landscape up-to-date and adhere to ethical guidelines, especially when handling sensitive data.

As well as having proven technical skills, you'll also need to demonstrate the strong communication skills needed to describe complex findings to a range of different, often non-technical, stakeholders.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.
