  • Contribute to improving team methodologies, documentation, tools, and processes.
  • Work collaboratively with both the infrastructure and web application teams.
  • Manage multiple client engagements effectively.
  • Build strong, trusted relationships with clients as a reliable security partner.

Desirable

  • Industry certifications (OSCP, CRT, CSTM)
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell
  • Security Clearance (BPSS, SC, DV)

Benefits of working with us

  • Work with a passionate, supportive, and security-driven team
  • Opportunities for travel (examples of previous events include GISEC Dubai, conferences across the UK, BlackHat USA)
