You will test web applications, networks, cloud environments and mobile apps for clients across the UAE and GCC, manually and in depth, and you will explain your findings in a way that decision makers understand and act on.

Eligibility: UAE-based candidates only. You must already live in the UAE and hold a valid residence visa, or otherwise be legally entitled to work in the UAE without employer sponsorship. We do not offer visa sponsorship or relocation for this role, and applications that depend on either will not be processed.

What we expect

• A completed Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, information security or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Demonstrable experience with penetration testing, ethical hacking and information security.
• OSCP and CRTP are mandatory. Applications without both certifications will not be considered. Other certifications are not required.
• Excellent spoken and written English. Arabic is a plus.
• Able to document findings and advice independently and accurately.
• Analytical, pragmatic and comfortable working both in a team and on your own.
• Curious about new techniques and willing to keep learning.

Who fits at Rootsec

We are a small, fast moving team. You take ownership, you ask questions when you are stuck, you are honest about what you do not know, and you keep going until every avenue has been tried. You prefer solving a hard problem to following a checklist.

What we offer

• A competitive salary in line with the UAE market.
• Medical insurance in line with UAE regulations.
• Varied engagements for clients that take security seriously.
• Access to our labs, tooling and continuously evolving test environments.
• Budget and time for certifications and training.
