Penetration Tester
Nordic Investin is recruiting a Penetration Tester on behalf of one of our partner companies. You want offensive security work where findings are technically credible, clearly explained and useful to the engineers who must fix them. You will plan engagements, validate exploit paths and communicate risk without exaggeration. Security work is expected to reduce real exposure while preserving the organisation’s ability to deliver. Recommendations must identify the threat, the affected asset and a realistic implementation path. You will receive meaningful ownership while working with senior colleagues on the most consequential decisions. There is room to deepen your specialism or broaden toward adjacent responsibilities. What you will do
Perform scoped penetration tests and security assessments. Test web applications, APIs, identity flows and infrastructure. Develop proof of concept exploits when appropriate. Distinguish theoretical weakness from practical attack paths. Write clear reports with reproducible evidence and remediation guidance. Present findings to engineering and risk stakeholders. What you will bring
Hands on penetration testing experience. Ability to use and extend common testing tools. Clear understanding of authorisation, safety and test boundaries. Constructive communication during remediation. Experience that would add value
Cloud or mobile penetration testing. Source code assisted assessments. OSCP, CREST or comparable evidence of practical skill. A background that can succeed here
Your route may include security consulting, development, system administration or independent research. What makes the opportunity interesting
You will encounter varied technical environments and have time to understand the systems you assess. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time. You do not need every optional technology if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into technology and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
