  • Create detailed penetration test reports in English detailing the steps taken to exploit issues and provide actionable remediation suggestions.
  • Create/script tools and exploits during the engagement to demonstrate a vulnerability with proof or write meaningful test cases to test all attack theories.

  • Work with other team members on client assessments as a team-oriented group.
  • Contribute to in-house written tools (Python) to aide in the penetration testing process.

Experience & Qualifications

  • Well organized and ability to work autonomously
  • Technical curiosity and self-starter

Preferred:

  • AWS penetration testing experience strongly preferred
  • OSCP or OSWE certification highly preferred (demonstration of exploitation capabilities or equivalent expertise can be used as a substitute)
  • Development experience highly desirable but not required
  • For senior analysts, ability to quickly become familiar with Appgate processes and progress to leading assessments

Language: Intermediate-Advanced English (written and spoken)
