[Hiring] Penetration Tester @Terra Security

Role Description

As a Penetration Tester, you will be a founding member of our new European penetration testing team. You will work at the intersection of traditional ethical hacking and cutting-edge AI, providing the "human-in-the-loop" expertise that ensures our autonomous agents remain accurate, creative, and devastatingly effective. This is an opportunity to move beyond standard "checkbox" pentesting and into the future of automated, exploit-driven security.

• Perform deep-dive penetration tests on Web Applications and APIs, identifying complex vulnerabilities that automated tools often miss.
• Work alongside our AI agent swarm, providing manual verification, oversight, and creative exploitation logic to enhance the platform’s performance.
• Research and develop new exploitation techniques to keep our platform ahead of emerging threats and unique business logic risks.
• Translate technical vulnerabilities into clear, high-quality security reports that provide actionable remediation guidance for our customers.
• Contribute to the methodologies and workflows of our growing European hub, collaborating with global teams to maintain a "best-in-class" testing standard.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on experience specifically in Web Application and API Penetration Testing.
• A strong understanding of common attack methodologies, exploitation techniques, and the OWASP Top 10.
• Proficiency with networking protocols (TCP/HTTP) and a solid grasp of client-side and server-side languages.
• Practical expertise with Burp Suite, Caido, and other industry-standard security testing utilities.
• The ability to write clear, professional security reports that balance technical depth with remediation clarity.
• High-level English proficiency (fluent in reading, writing, and speaking).

Requirements

• Experience with Python, Go, or Bash to automate repetitive testing tasks.
• Holdings such as OSCP, OSWA, OSWE, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with testing in AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.
• Interest in or experience with using AI/LLMs to enhance security workflows.
