Senior Penetration Tester (Web App / Infrastructure) Remote, UK

The role

I'm supporting an established penetration testing consultancy that's hiring a Senior Penetration Tester to lead engagements across its team. You'll specialise in either web application or infrastructure testing, across a varied mix of client work.

Most of the work is commercial. Only around 30% is CHECK, so you'll put your CTL status to use without being tied to government work all the time. The team is around 50 consultants, and the business has a strong record of developing its people, so you'll play a real part in bringing on the next generation of testers.

What you'll do

• Lead web application or infrastructure penetration tests (depending      on your specialism) for a broad range of commercial clients, from scoping      through delivery to final report

• Act as the accountable CHECK Team Leader on CHECK engagements,      which make up around 30% of the workload

• Direct and quality-assure the work of more junior testers on your      engagements

• Review and sign off technical reports, making sure findings and      remediation advice are accurate and clear

• Be the client's main technical point of contact, presenting      findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Mentor and develop junior consultants

What you'll bring

• Strong senior-level commercial      penetration testing experience, in either web application or      infrastructure testing

• Active NCSC CHECK Team Leader (CTL)      status, ideally held for around 2 years. The Cyber Scheme CSTL      qualification alone, without CHECK accreditation and SC, won't be      considered

• Current SC clearance DV clearance

• Based in the UK

• DV clearance (attracts a £5k bonus)

Location, working pattern and package

• Remote first: fully home-based, anywhere in the UK

• On site: around 1-2 days per month on average. 

• Salary: £65,000-£75,000, depending on experience

• DV bonus: £5,000 for DV-cleared consultants

• On top: overtime and expenses paid where relevant
