About the Role

You bring:
- Proven experience in penetration testing and/or red teaming across web, mobile, APIs, and enterprise environments

- Deep understanding of secure SDLC, CI/CD security controls, and DevSecOps principles
- Hands-on experience with security tooling (SAST/DAST/SCA) and vulnerability management
- Scripting/automation skills and experience working in cloud environments (ideally Azure)
