Senior Penetration Tester


What You’ll Do

You’ll be on the front lines of our security efforts, thinking like an attacker to help us stay one step ahead. As a Senior Offensive Security Engineer, you’ll break things (responsibly), uncover weaknesses, and help us build stronger, more resilient systems.


This is a hands-on role where you’ll move fast, experiment, and have real impact. You’ll work closely with engineers, product teams, and security to turn findings into fixes — not just reports.


Day to day, you’ll:

  • Hack our own systems to find and fix vulnerabilities before others do
  • Run white-box and black-box pentests across apps, infrastructure, and APIs
  • Triage bug bounty reports and dig into external findings
  • Go beyond surface issues with root cause and variant analysis
  • Tear apart third-party tools and integrations to understand their risk
  • Build scrappy (and scalable) tools for recon, automation, and insights
  • Partner with engineers and the SOC to solve real security problems
  • Share knowledge through demos, workshops, and hands-on sessions
  • Help us decide where to focus to get the biggest security wins
  • Shape and evolve our security programme as we grow


Who You Are

You’re curious, pragmatic, and love breaking things to make them better. You don’t just find problems — you help fix them.


  • Have solid experience in penetration testing and offensive security
  • Can spot vulnerabilities in code (especially Java and Node.js)
  • Understand modern architectures — AWS, microservices, APIs
  • Communicate clearly and give practical, actionable remediation advice
  • Write Python and enjoy building tools that make life easier
  • Take ownership and don’t wait to be told what to do


Nice to have:

  • Certs like OSCP, OSWE, CREST, GIAC, AWS (or equivalent experience)
  • CTFs, bug bounty hunting, or involvement in the security community
