Penetration Tester

• →Run manual penetration tests across web applications, APIs, mobile apps, and network infrastructure — from scoping through testing, reporting, client readout, and retest
• →Produce findings that are manually confirmed and exploitable, with remediation guidance a developer can act on without a follow-up call
• →Handle nuanced test cases beyond the standard checklist: business logic flaws, authorization edge cases, vulnerability chaining, and environment-specific attack paths
• →Present findings directly to client engineering teams and security leads — explaining what was found, why it matters, and how to fix it
• →Contribute to security design reviews and threat modelling engagements earlier in the SDLC
• →Mentor junior testers on test execution and report quality; contribute to methodology improvements, tooling, and internal playbooks
• →Develop domain depth in one or more service areas (web, network, mobile, code review) through our Domain Expertise Program — with formal recognition and stipend for engineers who build expertise that makes the whole team stronger

• 2+ years of hands-on manual penetration testing — not scanner-assisted, manual
• Demonstrated ability to run standard engagements end-to-end with minimal oversight: scope, test, report, readout, retest
• Finds that go beyond OWASP Top 10 basics — business logic issues, complex auth flaws, chained vulnerabilities
• Reports that are client-ready with low rework: technically accurate, clearly written, correctly risk-rated
• Software development background in one or more of Python, .NET, Ruby, or Java — you understand how the thing was built, not just how to break it
• Strong communication skills in both directions: writing that doesn't require a translator and calls where you can hold your own in front of an engineering team
• Located in Canada and eligible to work (citizen, permanent resident, or valid work visa)

• OSCP, OSCP+, or GWAPT
• Experience across multiple service areas (web + mobile, or web + network)
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks that drive our clients' security programs: SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA
