Ethical Hacker

Job Description

TechNova Solutions is engaging an Ethical Hacker on a 12-month contract for our fully remote offensive-security practice. You will perform advanced adversary simulations, red-team exercises and assumed-breach assessments for enterprise clients — operating like a real threat actor to test detection and response capabilities. Our red-team engagements simulate nation-state and ransomware actors for FTSE 100 clients, testing whether their defences hold when it truly matters.

We offer competitive contract rates, funded advanced training (OSEP, CRTO), and the freedom to research and publish. Our red teamers work on genuinely challenging engagements, not checkbox pentests, with full support from our detection engineering colleagues. You will also create custom tooling we open-source, train blue teams on attacker tradecraft, and receive funded CRTO and OSEP certifications plus Black Hat attendance.

Conduct red-team operations and adversary simulations
Perform assumed-breach and ransomware-readiness assessments
Develop custom C2 infrastructure, implants and tradecraft

Requirements

3-5 years in offensive security (pentest, red team)
Strong Active Directory attack and lateral movement skills
Proficiency with C2 frameworks (Cobalt Strike, Sliver)
Evasion techniques against modern EDR solutions
