Join a trusted leader in National Security technology solutions.

Are you passionate about using cutting-edge cyber technology to protect the UK?

Do you enjoy solving technical cyber problems and identifying vulnerabilities?

As part of our client's expanding National Security division, you'll contribute to high-impact missions across AI/Data Science, Cybersecurity, Cloud, DevOps, and Platform Engineering. We're seeking inquisitive individuals who excel at dissecting technical systems, not just to understand how they work, but to identify weaknesses, assess risks, and develop mitigation strategies.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Researching, designing, and building resilient systems to support National Security objectives.
• Conducting vulnerability assessments and threat modelling on software and hardware components.
• Reverse engineering a wide range of technologies to uncover vulnerabilities and improve security.
• Writing secure, high-performance code that integrates deeply with operating systems and platforms.
• Developing tools and solutions to identify, manage, and remediate security vulnerabilities.
• Working closely with cybersecurity teams to prioritize vulnerabilities and implement patching strategies.
• Collaborating in Agile teams to deliver innovative, secure, and robust technical solutions.

What We’re Looking For

• Proficiency in one or more of C, C++, or C#.
• Familiarity with scripting and automation using Python.
• Experience working with Linux or Windows-based systems.
• Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning tools (e.g., Nessus, OpenVAS, Burp Suite, or similar).
• Familiarity with CVSS scoring, vulnerability databases (e.g., NVD, MITRE ATT&CK), and risk prioritization frameworks.
• Understanding of patch management processes, secure configuration baselines, and compliance requirements.
• Awareness of secure coding practices and modern cybersecurity threats.
• Knowledge of principles used in Agile environments.

Clearance required

Due to the nature of the clients’ work, you are required to hold an eDV level security clearance.

This is an incredible opportunity to be at the forefront of National Security innovation. If you’re naturally curious, thrive in high-stakes environments, and want to make a real impact—apply today!
