Collaborating closely with both our in-house development team and clients, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the evolution of our products and services, helping to deliver the next generation of continuous penetration testing.
As a well-funded cybersecurity start-up doing something innovative, this opportunity is genuinely one-of-a-kind for the right individual.
