  • Prepare detailed technical reports and provide actionable recommendations based on the results of penetration tests.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and external clients to discuss findings, mitigation strategies, and security best practices.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant security standards and regulations, including GDPR, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and others.
  • Stay up to date on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and security best practices.

  • Expertise in internal and external network penetration testing.
  • Knowledge of common security vulnerabilities and attack vectors, such as those listed in OWASP Top 10 and MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard tools like Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark, Nessus, and others.
  • Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) is a plus.
  • Strong understanding of GDPR, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and other regulatory frameworks.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present findings to technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Skills & Certifications:

  • Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP), Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), GIAC Penetration Tester (GPEN), or similar certifications.
  • Experience with mobile security frameworks and tools such as OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG).
  • Experience in API security testing, including OAuth and other common API security models.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming/scripting languages (Python, Bash, JavaScript, etc.).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
