The role

Ready to take the next step in your career?

Join the world's first AI-managed IT and security platform, replacing the traditional MSP model with a single fixed-price subscription covering managed IT, defensive security, and unlimited offensive testing. Serving customers across 90+ countries with agentic AI running through every layer of operations, the UK-headquartered organization holds ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and CREST certifications.

This is a great opportunity for a Senior Penetration Tester to deliver hands-on testing across infrastructure, networks, web applications, and APIs for varied client environments. The ideal candidate will work on technically challenging engagements while contributing to a wider security operation, rather than simply delivering standalone penetration tests.
