About the Role:

Globals is a defence-technology and cybersecurity company building secure systems across enterprise, space, drone, and AI domains. As a VAPT Engineer, you will lead vulnerability assessment and penetration testing engagements across networks, web and mobile applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure — probing systems the way an adversary would, and turning findings into clear, prioritised remediation guidance.

You will work hands-on across the full testing lifecycle: scoping, reconnaissance, exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting. You will also help mature our AI-assisted testing capability — using and tuning tooling that accelerates scanning, triage, and remediation-suggestion generation — while ensuring every finding is validated by human judgement.

Responsibilities:

• Plan and execute penetration tests across network, web, API, mobile, and cloud targets, from scoping through to retesting.
  


• Perform manual and automated vulnerability assessments; validate scanner output and eliminate false positives through hands-on verification.
  


• Research and reproduce vulnerabilities using OWASP, CVSS scoring, and current CVE intelligence to assess real-world impact.
  


• Develop and maintain Python automation and custom scripts to streamline recurring testing and reporting tasks.
  


• Operate industry tooling — Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, and equivalents — and apply AI/ML-assisted scanning to speed up triage.
  


• Write clear, evidence-backed vulnerability reports with reproduction steps, risk ratings, and actionable remediation guidance for technical and non-technical audiences.
  


• Support secure-development and compliance efforts in line with CERT-In Guidelines and MoD Cyber Security Policy where engagements require it.
  


• Partner with engineering and client teams to verify fixes and confirm closure of reported issues.
  

Requirements

Must-Have Qualifications:

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in penetration testing / VAPT across network, web, and API targets.
  


• Strong working knowledge of OWASP Top 10, CVSS scoring, and CVE research.
  


• Proficiency with Burp Suite, Metasploit, and Nmap.
  


• Python scripting for automation of testing and reporting workflows.
  


• Demonstrated API security testing experience.
  


• Proven ability to write professional, client-ready vulnerability reports.
  


• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
  

Nice to Have:

• Experience with AI/ML-assisted scanning tools (commercial or custom-built) and AI-generated remediation suggestions.
  


• Experience working with a CERT-In empanelled auditing organisation, with direct involvement in security assessment and audit delivery.
  


• Awareness of CERT-In Guidelines 2022 and MoD Cyber Security Policy 2020.
  


• Exploit-development awareness (understanding, not live weaponisation).
  


• CTF participation and/or a documented bug-bounty history.
  


• Relevant certifications — OSCP, CEH, GPEN, or eWPT.
  


• Prior exposure to defence, government, or space/drone security programmes.
  


• C/C++ in addition to Python.
  

Priority Competencies:

The strongest candidates will demonstrate depth across the areas below, weighted roughly in this order of importance to the role:

• Penetration testing — network, web, API: Critical
  


• OWASP / CVSS / CVE research: High
  


• AI/ML-assisted scanning: High
  


• Vulnerability report writing: Medium
  


• API security testing: Medium
  


• CERT-In / MoD policy awareness: Medium
  


• CTF / bug-bounty experience: Bonus
  

Why Globals:

You'll work on security problems that matter — protecting systems across defence, space, and enterprise domains — as part of a small, high-ownership engineering team where your findings directly shape how products are built and hardened. We invest in offensive-security tooling, encourage research and continuous learning, and give engineers real autonomy over how they work.
