Got a homelab humming away in the corner? Spend your weekends on CTFs, side projects or pulling apart whatever tech you can get your hands on? You might be exactly who we’re looking for.
SYBER is hiring a Pen Tester who’s genuinely curious about how things work, and how they break. We take security seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
The role
Permanent, fully remote, anywhere in Australia (Melbourne preferred).
Occasional in office work at client offices when an engagement calls for it.
Versatile working arrangements that actually work around your life.
What you’ll be doing
Testing web application, APIs, mobile apps , internal and external networks, and whatever compelling tech our clients throw at us next
Getting hands-on with AI security, from poking at LLM-powered apps to finding creative ways to make chatbots say things they really shouldn’t
Working alongside our senior red teamers and picking up tradecraft from people who do this at the sharp end
Tackling a broad mix of clients, from enterprise to government, so no two weeks look the same
Writing clear reports and helping clients understand what matters and how to fix it
You’ll fit right in if you…
Have solid hands-on pentesting skills and some real-world experience (around 2–4 years, but skills matter more than time served)
Run your own lab, tinker with side projects, play CTFs, or generally can’t leave tech alone outside work hours
Love digging into how things work and aren’t satisfied until you understand them
Can explain technical findings in plain language to non-technical people
Have enterprise or government testing experience (a bonus, not a must)
Certs are welcome, but not required. We’d rather see what you can do.
What we offer
Genuine flexibility
An industry-leading team that loves talking shop
A wide variety of interesting work, so you’ll keep learning
The important bit You must be based in Australia with full working rights.
