You will be expected to act as a senior technical expert, providing direction on testing approach, reviewing findings, mentoring team members, and ensuring high-quality penetration testing deliverables.
You will work closely with security teams, application teams, infrastructure teams, DevOps, architects, business stakeholders, and compliance teams to plan and perform penetration testing across web, mobile, API, cloud, and network environments.
