Descrizione del lavoro

Northwave Group is seeking an Ethical Hacker to help clients identify vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. You will perform penetration testing across web apps, APIs, infrastructure, AD, and cloud environments, with scope defined per engagement and opportunities to broaden technical skills.

You will document findings, discuss recommendations with clients, and collaborate with colleagues to ensure remediation.

Competenze

• Initial hands-on experience performing penetration tests, gained through employment, an internship or comparable practical security work.
• A solid technical foundation in at least one relevant area, such as web applications and APIs, infrastructure, Active Directory or cloud environments.
• A good understanding of networking, operating systems, common protocols and frequently encountered vulnerability classes.
• Experience using penetration-testing tools, combined with the ability and willingness to investigate and manually validate their results.
• A structured and responsible approach to testing, including respecting scope restrictions, handling client data carefully and keeping clear evidence of your work.
• The ability to explain technical findings and their impact in clear written and spoken English.
• Curiosity and persistence when the obvious testing approach does not work.
• A collaborative mindset. You are comfortable asking for help, receiving feedback and sharing what you learn with others.
• A relevant technical education or equivalent knowledge demonstrated through practical experience, personal projects or training.

Mansioni

• As an Ethical Hacker, you help our clients identify and understand vulnerabilities before malicious attackers can exploit them.
• You will work on a variety of penetration-testing assignments, covering areas such as web applications and APIs, internal and external infrastructure, Active Directory, Microsoft cloud environments and other technologies.
• We match assignments to your experience while giving you opportunities to broaden your technical skills.
• You will be involved throughout the engagement, define the scope and testing approach, perform the technical assessment and document findings.
• You determine how vulnerabilities can be exploited, assess their potential impact and translate the results into clear, practical recommendations.
• You will also contribute to reports, discuss findings with clients and verify whether vulnerabilities have been resolved.
• Red teaming is a possible development path within the role, rather than a requirement from day one.
