The roles are varied and challenging, so you'll find yourself engaged in a variety of tasks, including application and infrastructure testing, "Red Teaming", Advanced Intrusion Testing, and cyber and digital resilience. As a Senior, you will also be expected to help develop and mentor more junior members of the team.

As well as the opportunity to hone your skills on the job we have a strong commitment to personal development. So, as well as learning from colleagues you'll be able to enhance our penetration testing capabilities through service specialisation and funded personal research. The scope for career development is limited only by your personal dedication and drive.

The roles are client-facing so you'll need to have the flexibility to frequently travel to client sites and be comfortable liaising at both a management and technical level.

Active CHECK status is preferred although we will also consider your application should you be at an equivalent level, able to achieve this status soon after joining.

As you're dealing with clients, you'll need to have good communication and stakeholder management skills along with attention to detail and report writing skills. You'll also need great time management so that you can balance scheduled client engagements with directing your own research to keep up to date with the latest vulnerabilities, attacks, and countermeasures.

All our team members have a strong desire to get root, have an adaptable and flexible approach to work, and have a willingness to support each other and the wider team. You'll also need to have or be able to gain UK security clearance and hold a UK driving licence.
