POSITION OVERVIEW We are seeking a highly skilled and analytical Senior Security Penetration Tester to join our Cyber Security team. This is not a checklist-based role; we are looking for a dedicated security professional who possesses an "adversarial mindset." The successful candidate will go beyond automated scanning to perform deep-dive manual exploitation, identifying complex logic flaws and architectural weaknesses that automated tools often overlook. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES • Full-Spectrum Penetration Testing: Execute comprehensive security assessments across diverse environments, including Web Applications, Mobile Platforms (iOS/Android), Cloud Infrastructure (AWS/GCP), and internal corporate networks. • Deep-Dive API & IAM Analysis: Perform rigorous testing on the "backbone" of our digital services, focusing on API security, authentication protocols, and Identity & Access Management (IAM) to prevent unauthorized privilege escalation. • Vulnerability Chaining & Impact Analysis: Correlate disparate vulnerabilities to build comprehensive attack scenarios. Demonstrate the potential business impact of findings through clear, reproducible Proof of Concepts (PoC). • Strategic Remediation & Reporting: Deliver high-quality technical reports for both technical and executive audiences. Provide actionable, risk-based remediation guidance to development teams to strengthen the organizational security posture. • Security Research: Stay abreast of the latest threat actor TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) and integrate new exploitation methods into the testing lifecycle. PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS • Experience: A minimum of 3 years of professional experience in dedicated offensive security or penetration testing roles. • Web Security Mastery: Expert knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and advanced exploitation techniques, including Insecure Deserialization, Blind Injections, GraphQL vulnerabilities, and complex business logic flaws. • Mobile Application Security: Proficiency in both static and dynamic analysis for iOS and Android. Experience with tools such as Frida and MobSF, and a deep understanding of mobile-specific risks and anti-tampering bypasses. • Cloud Infrastructure Security: Proven experience in auditing and exploiting Cloud environments (AWS or GCP), with a focus on misconfigurations, container security, and cloud-native IAM weaknesses. • Technical Toolset: Advanced proficiency with Burp Suite Professional. Ability to develop custom scripts and exploit code using Python, Bash, or PowerShell. • Analytical Mindset: Strong ability to think critically and simulate sophisticated cyber-attacks to identify hidden risks. DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS • Specialized Domain Knowledge: Previous experience in Game Security (including client/server architecture and anti-cheat systems) is highly regarded. • Professional Certifications: Holding industry-recognized certifications such as: • OffSec: OSWE, OSCP, or OSEP. • HTB/TCM: CWES, CWEE, PWPE, or PMPA. • Specialized: CMSE (Cloud), ASCP (API), or GIAC (GMOB, GWAPT, GCPN). • Industry Contributions: Active participation in Bug Bounty programs (HackerOne, Bugcrowd) or a history of discovered and documented CVEs.
