We’re aiming to gather one of Belfast’s most diverse line-ups of adaptable and talented people to focus on the penetration testing side of Cyber Security. We’re looking for individuals who can think on their feet, see the attack surface, replicate, innovate and push boundaries.

**What you’ll be doing**
- Developing comprehensive and accurate reports and presentations for internal stakeholders including technical and executive audiences.
- Taking personal responsibility for understanding new designs, systems, and technology, with a particular emphasis on knowledge of Aflac’s external points of presence and the risks associated with them.
- Researching emerging technologies and attack vectors and developing scripts, tools, or methodologies to enhance Aflac’s red teaming processes.
- Creating, maintaining and configuring tooling and testing platforms.
- Ensuring that all internal policies and security procedures are adhered to
- Leading a team of penetration testers on specific engagements when necessary
