Senior Penetration Tester

HCL Software | Office of the CISO

Location: India - Bangalore / Noida / Remote

Type: Full time

About the Role

HCL Software is seeking a Senior Penetration Tester to perform Continuous Threat Exposure

Management (CTEM) and offensive security testing across our products and infrastructure. This

role focuses on continuous attack surface discovery, attack path analysis, and risk-based

prioritization to identify and remediate weaknesses across our application, cloud, and identity attack

surface before they can be exploited.

We are looking for a tester who produces findings engineering teams can actually act on, and who

cares about whether issues get fixed rather than only whether they get reported.

You will work with Product Security, PSIRT, Security Operations, and engineering teams, and your

findings will feed directly into remediation roadmaps and customer-facing assurance.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and execute penetration tests across web and thick-client applications, APIs, cloud

environments, internal networks,



and identity infrastructure.

• Perform deep manual testing that goes well beyond automated tooling, including business logic

abuse, authorization flaws, and chained exploitation.

• Develop custom tooling, scripts, and proof-of-concept exploits where off-the-shelf tooling is

insufficient.

• Define scope, rules of engagement, and safety controls, and operate within them rigorously.

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) & Attack Path Analysis

Offensive Testing & Execution

• Lead continuous attack surface discovery across cloud, on-prem, identity, and application

environments to identify exposed assets and security misconfigurations.

• Perform attack path analysis to map potential exploitation chains across AWS, Azure, GCP,

and hybrid environments, evaluating identity-based lateral movement and privilege escalation

risks.

• Prioritize discovered exposures based on business impact, asset criticality,
