The opportunity

As a Senior Penetration Tester / Red Team Consultant, you are part of the EY Cyber Security team delivering offensive security services that help clients validate and improve their security posture.

As a member of our team in the EY GDS Spain office in Malaga, you'll have a chance to extend your knowledge & experience by working on interesting projects with the newest technologies and approaches.

network/infrastructure, and cloud environments

- Define scope, rules of engagement, and test strategy with stakeholders; ensure safe execution and minimal

- Perform security testing using a balanced approach of manual techniques and validated tooling; document

evidence and reproduce findings reliably

- Deliver high-quality reporting (executive summary, technical details, risk rating, remediation guidance);

support retesting and closure

- Conduct (or support) red team / purple team exercises where applicable, aligning scenarios to business risks

and adversary techniques

- Collaborate with defensive teams (SOC/Blue Team/IR) while ensuring appropriate separation and

independence of offensive and defensive activities

knowledge sharing

To qualify for the role, you must have
