Cyber Security Analyst

— Think Like the Attacker, Defend Like a Pro

The best way to know if a system is secure? Try to break it before someone else does. As a Senior Security Analyst, you'll bring an attacker's mindset to a defender's mission — probing for weaknesses, surfacing the risks that matter, and guiding the business on exactly how to close them before they're exploited.

If you live in a Linux terminal, get a genuine thrill from a clean proof-of-concept, and believe the best defence is a great offence, this one's for you.

What you'll do

You'll plan and run authorised red team engagements and penetration tests across systems, networks, and applications — simulating real-world attacks to expose weaknesses before someone hostile finds them. Working largely in Linux environments, you'll assess infrastructure, identify vulnerabilities, and map how a determined attacker would chain them together.

You'll turn findings into clear, prioritised reporting that both engineers and executives can act on — not just what's broken, but why it matters and how to fix it . From there you'll partner with the blue team and system owners to close gaps, retest, and harden the environment.

As a senior voice on the team, you'll help mature the organisation's overall security posture — refining methodologies, mentoring less-experienced analysts, tracking the latest attacker techniques and tooling, and championing a culture where security is built in, not bolted on.

You'll thrive here if you have

• Solid hands-on experience in security analysis, penetration testing, or offensive/red team work
• Deep, practical command of Linux — comfortable living on the command line and scripting (Bash, Python, etc.)
• A strong grasp of networking, common attack techniques, and how real-world breaches actually unfold
• Familiarity with industry-standard security tooling and frameworks (e.g. MITRE ATT&CK)
• The ability to translate technical risk into language the business understands
• A relevant certification (OSCP, CEH, GPEN or similar) a strong plus
• A sharp, curious, ethical mindset — you find the holes so the good guys can fix them

Why you'll love it

This is security work with a pulse. Every engagement is a fresh puzzle, your findings directly strengthen the organisation's defences, and as a senior analyst you'll have the autonomy to go deep, set the standard, and bring others up with you. Real impact, real challenge, and a team that takes the craft seriously.

If you'd rather be the one finding the weakness than the one explaining how it got breached, let's talk.
