About the role

  • Lead Penetration Tester managing penetration testing projects across various platforms for Civica. Responsible for security assessments, report crafting, and collaboration with teams.

Responsibilities

  • Step into a lead role where your expertise drives high‑impact penetration testing projects across web applications, APIs, mobile platforms, and network infrastructure.
  • You’ll work independently with confidence, applying frameworks like OWASP Top 10 and SANS/CWE Top 25 to uncover, exploit, and clearly document vulnerabilities that matter.
  • Take ownership of comprehensive security assessments by blending manual and automated techniques — from deep enumeration and exploitation to thorough follow‑up validation.
  • Your skills will shape mobile security reviews on Android and iOS, as well as cloud security evaluations on AWS and Azure.
  • You’ll craft reports that don’t just highlight issues but tell a clear story — accessible to both technical teams and non‑experts, with actionable recommendations that drive real change.
  • Collaboration is key: you’ll partner closely with development and infrastructure teams to ensure patches are applied, tested, and validated.
  • Most importantly, you’ll stay ahead of the curve — continuously sharpening your knowledge with the latest CVEs, attack methods, and cutting‑edge tools.

Requirements

  • 2 years of hands-on penetration testing or offensive security experience.
  • Solid understanding of OWASP Top 10 and SANS/CWE Top 25, with the ability to manually identify and exploit common vulnerability classes.
  • Experience in web application and network security testing using tools such as Burp Suite Pro, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, and Wireshark.
  • Exposure to mobile (Android/iOS), API, and cloud security (AWS, Azure) testing methodologies.
  • Understanding of CVSS v4.0 for vulnerability scoring and risk communication.
  • Basic scripting ability in Python, Bash, or PowerShell, with good communication skills to present findings clearly.

Benefits

  • We're all different - and we love this about us.
  • We provide an inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment to all Civicans - there are heaps of opportunities to enable you to grow and be your best.
  • Giving culture - we encourage you to "give back" with benefits such as our Days of Difference leave where you can volunteer for a charity of your choice.
  • Flexible Work - we have comprehensive flexibility options including part-time work, adjusted hours, staggered shifts, and hybrid or remote working, supporting work–life balance based on individual needs.
