The ideal candidate will emulate advanced persistent threat (APT) tactics, discover hidden exploit vulnerabilities, and write technical proof-of-concept reports to help software engineering and infrastructure teams systematically harden corporate defenses.\nKey Responsibilities\nExecute comprehensive network and web application penetration tests, utilizing automated scanning suites alongside manual exploration tactics to expose system vulnerabilities.\nConduct realistic red-teaming simulation campaigns, probing corporate defenses, orchestrating advanced social engineering scenarios, and bypassing physical perimeter monitoring configurations.\n Develop structural custom exploitation scripts (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash) to demonstrate vulnerability severity while respecting operational stability guidelines.\nTriage and evaluate cloud infrastructure entry vectors, assessing multi-tenant environment perimeters, microservice containers, API authentication weaknesses, and misconfigured access permissions.\n Document and present highly detailed vulnerability disclosure reports, assigning clear impact scoring (CVSS), defining business risk matrices, and detailing step-by-step technical remediation paths.\nPerform rigorous post-remediation verification sweeps, re-testing patched software frameworks, validated infrastructure updates, and newly implemented defensive logic barriers.\nCollaborate closely with blue-team defensive operators, providing specific threat behavior inputs to optimize SIEM monitoring rules and security log alerts.\nRequirements\n4 to 8 years of core cybersecurity technical experience, with 3+ dedicated years actively performing authorized penetration tests within enterprise frameworks.\n Strong technical mastery of standard exploitation tooling arrays (e.g., Burp Suite Pro, Metasploit, Nmap, Kali Linux), reverse engineering scripts, and manual payload construction.\nDeep structural understanding of the OWASP Top 10 web/API flaws, Windows/Linux kernel security architectures, privilege escalation techniques, and active directory exploit vectors.\nMandatory certification: OSCP or GPEN.\nPreferred Qualifications\n Offensive Security Certified Expert (OSCE) or Advanced Web Attacks and Exploitation (OSWE) credential.\nExperience testing complex enterprise platforms like Salesforce networks, custom SAP endpoints, or specialized Workday database connectivity pipelines.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3040,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Penetration
