We are looking for a mid-level Security Engineer (Penetration Tester) to join our Security team in Jakarta, Indonesia.

  • Continuously research emerging threats, attack techniques, and testing methodologies
  • Contribute to improving internal penetration testing tools, playbooks, and processes

What We Are Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related technical field
  • Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience in penetration testing or offensive security roles
  • Proven experience conducting penetration tests for web and mobile applications
  • Certification: OSCP or CREST (or equivalent recognized offensive security cert)
  • Strong proficiency with tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, and Wireshark
  • Solid understanding of security standards and frameworks (OWASP Top 10, NIST, CIS)
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to clearly explain security risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience with secure coding practices, code review, or SAST/DAST tools is a plus
  • Ability to script or automate using Python, Golang, Ruby, or JavaScript is a plus
  • Familiarity with cloud security concepts (AWS, GCP, or Azure) is a plus
  • Experience with CTF competitions, bug bounty triage, or vulnerability disclosure programs is a plus
