JOB DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------
Position: Penetration Engineer
Location: Bristol, , United Kingdom
Type: Permanent F/T
Closing Date: 2008-04-06
Penetration Tester
Our client, a leading IT Consultancy is looking for a passionate Penetration
Tester. The candidate should have a quirky hairstyle, preferably with a pony
tail and a dress sense to match. He/she should be a hard drinking insomniac,
who writes their best code between 3 and 4 in the morning. The candidate must
know at least one witty anecdote involving hex with Assembly as a second
language. The candidate must have zero social skills and more people should
know them by their handle rather than their real name. The candidate must have
felt the exhilaration in gaining root and would be required to demonstrate
their “root dance” at interview. Unfortunately they may also be
required to occasionally wear a tie!
Seriously though, this is a special ethical hacking role, where passion is more
important than the usual qualifications such as CEH or CISSP, furthermore,
candidates chasing huge salaries equivalent to the national debt of a small
country need not apply. You will still need to know your way around
vulnerability assessment and will be given a technical interview, but
don’t let that put you off too much, they are a good bunch!
Salary will be dependant on your skills and the value that you bring to the
team; it would be expected to be in the region of £30K to £45K. The
role is all Pen Testing, you will not be doing other Infosec work without
moving to another division, there will be plenty of variety and therefore you
must be willing to travel, the work also includes travel to US security
conferences such as Defcon or Shmoo. For around the first 6 months you will be
based in Bristol, after that you may be permitted to travel to clients sites
and generate reports from home.
You will be a member of a close knit and highly professional team with an
exceptionally passionate ethos. CHECK/Crest Team membership/leadership is
desirable but certainly not essential. Security Clearance (SC/DV) is not
essential but SC must be achievable. Achieving CHECK/Crest Team Leader status
is actively encouraged for team members.
Location: Bristol
Salary: £30-40k +
Contract Type: Permanent
JOB REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------------------------
Essential Experience:

Note: The client is completely open minded, however, as Information Security
consultants ourselves, we will not put you forward unless we are confident that
you have the skills necessary for penetration testing.
