Have you started popping boxes on Hack The Box, followed plenty of online hacking tutorials, and believe you are now ready for the real deal? We are looking for a new ambitious Junior Penetration Tester (Pentester) to join our experienced security team.

 

As a Junior Pentester, you will perform technical security assessments by hacking into our client's web applications, mobile apps, and networks. You understand how web applications are built, can read and write code, know how to find weak spots and pinpoint programming mistakes, and are aware of how hackers can potentially exploit these vulnerabilities. Once you are onboard with DongIT, you'll start hacking on projects immediately. Actual client projects will be on your desk!

 

Through innovative hacking techniques and methods, you will search for vulnerabilities and security issues within the scope of the assigned project. Your findings will be documented accurately in our in-house developed Pentesting Reporting Platform (securityreporter.app). This means you will not be working with amateurish Microsoft Word reports. Instead, rich markdown with proper code blocks and an advanced templating engine. Once you have finished a pentest, you will discuss and present your findings with our clients. Naturally, you will be mentored by our Senior Pentesters. All your work is reviewed, providing valuable feedback to improve your knowledge and hacking skill set.

  • Experience:
    • 1 to 3 years of relevant work or hobby experience (e.g. cybersecurity, pentesting, web development, network management).
    • Personal or professional software development projects and/or performing code reviews.

  • Using your creativity to think outside of the box.

  • Ability to grow with the company, follow a career path with more responsibilities and work on the most complex security projects for exciting clients.
