The role also includes recurring red-team and purple-team support alongside security operations teams.

What you'll do

  • Plan and run penetration tests on web applications, networks and cloud infrastructure.
  • Validate and exploit vulnerabilities to show their real-world impact.
  • Analyze post-exploitation scope to assess how far discovered weaknesses could reach.
  • Write structured technical reports with severity ratings and remediation guidance.
