Penetration Tester - UK (Remote, with occasional onsite)
We're hiring again
Interviews targeted for w/cing 20th and 27th July
A year ago, Incursion was a team of one. Today we are a team of three, and we are hiring our fourth. That is real momentum.
We expect the company to continue to really grow over the next 18 months, and I am looking for a Penetration Tester to join the team and play an role in that expansion.
I know how it feels to be just another number inside a big team. If you want more autonomy and control over the direction of your career, Incursion is the place for you.
Our client base is diverse, ranging from micro‑businesses of one employee to enterprises with thousands. No matter who we are working for, Incursion offers the same "big consultancy" standard of testing I was trained to, but with the personal touch only a boutique business can provide.
Who I'm Looking For
I am looking for a consultant with commercial experience working as part of a team. You don’t have to have been a CTM before, but you need to be eligible to be one now. We don't yet hold CHECK status.
However achieving it is firmly on the roadmap, and you'll be part of that team when we get there.
The Work
The job offers genuine variety. If we have the skillset, we offer the service. In the last year alone, we have delivered:
- Classic penetration testing
- Security training delivered both in the UK and abroad
- Auditing for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Assurance
- Physical security assessments
What is Expected of You
- Technical Delivery: Execute high‑quality assessments across the classic pen test disciplines.
- Consultancy: Client‑facing. Scoping, prepping, delivering and debriefing your own engagements.
- Auditing: Conducting Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus audits.
- Experience: Proven commercial experience delivering penetration testing as part of a team.
- Qualifications: CSTM, CRT, OSCP or equivalent preferred but not essential. If you don't have CSTM/CRT, we will get you there within 6 months.
- Ambition: A clear desire to take ownership of one or more delivery types. Cyber Essentials will be one of them, but penetration testing is a wide field and our primary service.
- Communication: Strong written and verbal skills. Able to speak to both technical and non‑technical clients.
- Clearance: Must hold or be able to achieve a minimum of UK Security Clearance (SC).
Why Join Incursion?
- Impact: You will not just be filling a seat. You will have the opportunity to help shape the technical direction of the company.
- Autonomy: Take ownership of your engagements.
- Variety: You won't be pigeonholed into one assessment type. Nothing is off limits. If you can deliver it, you will get to do it.
- Guaranteed dev time: You will not be billable for more than 85% of the year. That's a guarantee, not a best effort statement!
