Senior Penetration Tester

9 hours ago

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia The Decipher Bureau Full time $104,000 - $187,000 per year

Let's get this out of the way: this isn't a "compliance checkbox" pen testing role. If that's your jam, all good, but this probably isn't the gig for you.

If you've got full Aussie work rights and your OSCP, this is deep-dive, think-like-an-adversary, earn-your-repeat-business kind of work.

You'll join a boutique offensive security consultancy that deliberately stays small, sharp, and technical. They pen test for risk, not to tick off ISO or PCI items, and their clients span government, finance, healthcare, education, and tech. Mostly mid-market, where the work is complex but not suffocated by red tape.

Here, you'll:

  • Get your hands dirty with web, mobile, internal/external network, wireless, and thick client testing
  • Maybe you'll jump into red team engagements - internal hacks, phishing and social engineering, even the odd physical infiltration
  • Share knowledge with a crew who are constantly swapping exploits, tools, and techniques in real time

What you won't get is micromanagement, time tracking, or pointless stand-ups.

This team are adults. You'll work how and when you need, fully remote across Australia's East Coast.

They've built a strong reputation in the offensive space, not because of headcount or hype, but because the people here are genuinely good at what they do. It's a place where folks tend to stick around, upskill, and occasionally get flown around the traps for conferences.

  • Up to $155k base + super at the top end, aligned with your skills and experience
  • Fully remote (East Coast Australia)
  • Training is supported and covered, not a token $X budget
  • Zero sales or BD, this pure technical focus

If you're a seasoned pen tester who values autonomy, technical depth, and a team that genuinely gets it, this is one to take seriously.
