As Security Specialist in the Ghost Labs OffSec team, you are key in delivering our Offensive security and Red teaming services. Your daily activities involve:
- Performing traditional web, network, mobile and API penetration tests and writing a technical report that links your findings to the relevant (business) impact for the customer.
- Executing and managing smaller and larger Adversarial attack simulation assessments, from remote digital footprint assessment to full on-site Red team engagements that can run from weeks to months. Including, but not limited to phishing, physical pentests and network exploitation.
- Working on scoping requests from customers, planning larger assessments and assisting with quality assurance of team deliverables.
- Perform research projects on subjects that match your personal interests.
- Continuous knowledge sharing to the team and mentoring/coaching your peers to allow them to learn and grow individually and as a team.

What would make you stand out as our ideal candidate?

- Has at least five years of relevant professional IT Security experience, for example in the function of Security researcher, principal security consultant, Jr. Manager Security).
- Has completed a relevant university (of applied sciences) degree, or experience that exceeds that. Honestly, we care equally for the CVEs you discovered than a paper degree, either will do.
- Has at least two applicable professional certifications (e.g. OSEE, CCSAM, eCXD, eCRE, eMAPT, eCPTX)
- Is a true team player and self-claimed computer nerd.
- Has programming/scripting and network engineering skills.

Overall, you are a passionate omnipotent hacker that knows how to translate technical issues into business language. You can apply your technical skills independently, but you are also a true team player. We expect a strong drive to excel in what you like best, whether it is bypassing anti-virus, picking locks, phishing people, or breaking web applications.
