Hey there, Penetration Testers. Got around 1-2 years under your belt, give or take? Keen to really, really git gud at your craft? Want some diversity in your testing engagements? Do you value the social side of a job and having fun with your colleagues? Keen to enjoy the flexibility of working from home just about anywhere in AUS, but value time spent with people? You just might like this one…
Before jumping into the nitty gritty, you want to know what’s in for you, and that’s cool. Below are some of the things you’ll receive, and can expect, in this permanent role in Sydney.
- You’ll earn a salary around the $75k - $110k mark inc. super, aligned with your skills and experience.
- You’ll earn a discretionary bonus split between your personal performance, and business performance, typically in the double digits.
- You’ll be joining a team of genuinely good operators, who you’ll seriously learn a lot from. Are they CVE discoverers? Yup. How about competition winners? Uh-huh.
- You’ll be joining a business who promote from within. Make your mark, prove yourself, earn that promotion – don’t get bypassed by someone from outside the org.
- You’ll be a part of a team who really like to travel. Fancy attending security events around the country? You’ll get that chance. Fancy heading a bit further afield to some of the most prestigious events in the industry? Maybe, juuuuuust maybe you’ll get to do that, too.
- You’ll be a part of a distinctly un-corporate environment. They’re un-corporate not only in the dress code, but the management, way they operate, their agility and much more. Say “bye bye” to suit and tie nonsense.
- This one’s subjective, but believe us when we say you’ll be working with some sensational, salt of the earth leaders. Human, empathetic, reasonable, sharp, and abounding in smiles and bad jokes. You’ll enjoy your higher ups (everyone we’ve helped this business hire over the years certain do).
On that last point, want to read some 100% genuine quotes from pen testers like you, who’ve found work with this business? Go on then…
- “Started Monday, already had a casual beer with the team. So keen, mate. Thanks for finding me the opportunity.”
- “I really enjoy working with [COMPANY NAME REMOVED], the people here are so chill. Appreciate the nudge towards an amazing company.”
- “Just landed! Heading to [CONFERENCE NAME REMOVED] tomorrow, gonna stay with the team tonight. Team dinner looks nice.”
- “I suck at axe throwing.”
From the horse’s mouth: chill people, casual drinks, travel and conference attendance, team meals, and being awful at axe throwing. Doesn’t sound too bad, right?
Anyway, what will you be doing in this role? You’ll be flexing your muscles in the offensive security arena. That’s it. You know better than us what that involves, so we won’t insult your intelligence by lazily posting a list of *shudder* “duties” here.
All we’ll say is… webapps? Yes. Internal/external infra? Sure. APIs? You betcha. Mobile apps? Indeed. Social engineering? Uh-huh. Red teaming? Perhaps. You get the gist.
To succeed in a role like this, what will you need? - This really is a role targeted towards those around the 1-2 year mark, earlier in their careers, so if you’re an all-singing, all-dancing tester with years and years of experience under your belt, this ain’t the gig for you (much as we love ya).
- Do you know some stuff, but know that you don’t know everything? This might be for you.
- Do you have your OSCP? Great, because that’s required here.
- Do you have unlimited Aussie work rights? Cool. You’ll need those.
- Are you genuinely interested in becoming the best pen tester you can be? Excellent!
