This is an exciting opportunity to work in a highly mature cyber security team. This role sits within the Assessments and Testing team in the Bank's IT security services. As part of the role, you will be working closely with a wide variety of stakeholders, liaising with project and technical teams to organise and undertake security testing against the Bank's network, perimeter, applications, and systems to identify vulnerabilities and minimise security risks for the Bank against current and emerging threats.

The key aspect of this role will be to undertake regular and ad-hoc penetration testing across RBA applications and infrastructure. As part of this role, you will:

  • Be responsible for discovering vulnerabilities in a variety of systems including web application, infrastructure, mobile and wireless systems

Additionally, experience performing red/purple teaming engagements will be highly desirable.

To be successful in this critical role you will possess:

  • Experience performing a broad range of penetration testing (network, web application, mobile etc.)

  • Knowledge of information security principles and practices, and industry standards such as CORIE, ASD's Essential Eight, and ISM

  • In-depth knowledge of common offensive security tools (Burp Suite, Cobalt Strike, Metasploit)
  • Comfortable programming in at least 1 language (Java, C#, Python) and knowledge of secure coding practices
  • Ability to present technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and explain risk in a business context
  • Experience in conducting red/purple team engagements is beneficial but not required
