Security Design Reviewer and Penetration Tester for NATO with security clearance

A multinational defence organisation is adding two penetration testers to its offensive security cell. The work is a genuine mix: hands-on testing, red and blue team play during large military exercises, and the design reviews that stop a weakness being built in the first place. What you would be doing Testing web applications, infrastructure and application layers, with the tooling and methodology the job deserves rather than a scanner and a template. Leading or joining red and blue team activity during military exercises. Reviewing security designs against policy, and advising projects before decisions harden. Briefing what you found — to engineers, to boards, and to senior officers — and writing it up so each audience can act on it. Working closely with accreditation and configuration control bodies so findings turn into fixes. What you would bring More than three years of web application and IT infrastructure penetration testing. Network security architecture, and vulnerability assessment across operating systems, software, protocols and networks. System and network administration on both UNIX and Windows. Scripting in at least one of Perl, Python, Ruby or a shell. Authentication and security protocols, cryptography, application security, malware techniques and the defences against them. Report writing you are proud of: executive summary, technical findings, a remediation plan. Two positions are open on the same terms, on-site near Brussels.
