Job Title: Penetration Tester

Experience: 3–5 Years

Role Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Penetration Tester with 3–5 years of experience to identify, validate, and help remediate security vulnerabilities across our Web applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and supporting systems.

The candidate should have strong practical knowledge of penetration testing methodologies and modern security tools, along with the ability to leverage AI-assisted security tools, LLMs, and automation to improve vulnerability discovery, analysis, reporting, and repetitive security activities.

Key Responsibilities

Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Assessment

- Perform penetration testing of web applications, APIs, SaaS platforms, networks, and cloud environments.
- Identify and validate vulnerabilities based on OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security, CWE, CVE, and industry security practices.
- Conduct vulnerability assessments and distinguish exploitable security risks from false positives.
- Perform security testing for authentication, authorization, access control, session management, APIs, and tenant isolation.

Security Tools & Automation

- Hands-on experience with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, OWASP ZAP, Metasploit, Nuclei, vulnerability scanners, and related security toolsets.
- Develop scripts and automation using Python, Bash, or similar technologies for security testing and repetitive assessment activities.
- Integrate security testing into CI/CD and DevSecOps workflows where appropriate.

AI-Assisted Security Testing

- Effectively use modern AI/LLM-assisted development and security tools to accelerate security research, test-case generation, scripting, vulnerability analysis, and reporting.
- Build AI-assisted automation for repetitive penetration-testing and vulnerability-management activities.
- Apply appropriate validation and security controls when using AI-generated scripts, findings, or remediation recommendations.

Reporting & Remediation





- Prepare explicit penetration-testing reports containing risk, severity, evidence, business impact, and remediation recommendations.
- Work with Development, DevOps, SRE, and Platform teams to remediate identified vulnerabilities.
- Perform remediation validation and closure testing.
- Support security audits, customer security assessments, and compliance initiatives such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Required Skills

- 3–5 years of hands-on experience in VAPT / Penetration Testing / Application Security.
- Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, API Security, CVSS, CWE, CVE, and common attack techniques.
- Hands-on experience with Burp Suite, Nmap, OWASP ZAP, Nuclei, Metasploit, and vulnerability scanning tools.
- Good understanding of HTTP/HTTPS, REST APIs, authentication, networking, Linux, and security fundamentals.
- Experience with Python/Bash scripting and security automation.
- Ability to analyze vulnerabilities and provide practical remediation guidance.
- Good technical documentation and communication skills.

Valuable to Have

- Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, and cloud-native SaaS environments.
- Exposure to SAST, DAST, SCA, secret scanning, and DevSecOps security tools.
- Experience testing multi-tenant SaaS applications and APIs.
- Familiarity with threat modeling and MITRE ATT&CK.;
- Certifications such as OSCP, CEH, eJPT, PNPT, or equivalent practical security certifications.
- Experience building security automation or AI-assisted security workflows.

Success Metrics

- Identification of meaningful security vulnerabilities before production/customer exposure.
- Reduction in false positives and improvement in vulnerability validation quality.
- Timely remediation and successful closure/retesting of identified vulnerabilities.
- Increased automation of repetitive security testing and assessment activities.
- Improved penetration-testing coverage across applications, APIs, cloud, and SaaS infrastructure.
- Effective use of AI and automation to improve security testing efficiency without compromising assessment quality.
