Help is never far away in our open culture, you will find support in your team and from across the business, we are in this together! The way to thrive and shine within Starling is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building things, designing, discovering, to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our purpose is underpinned by five Starling values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.

You'll also support remediation processes, seeing your findings lead to tangible security improvements.

In turn, you'll help us continuously improve our processes, methodologies and tools to maintain the highest standard of testing.

Identifying and implementing improvements to the team's internal processes and procedures. Mentoring less-experienced team members, leading by example in technical assessments, and promoting a collaborative approach to security across Starling. Requirements We're open-minded when it comes to hiring and we care more about aptitude and attitude than specific experience or qualifications. Ideally, we would like: 5+ years technical information security experience. Experience in mobile, web application, cloud and infrastructure penetration testing. Technical knowledge - we don't expect mastery of every area, but are looking for a good foundation in the following domains: Mobile security (iOS and Android) Web application security Networking and associated protocols Cloud security (AWS and GCP) Containers and Kubernetes A desire to learn, and the ability to apply technical security knowledge to new and unfamiliar areas. Penetration testing qualifications (e.g. CREST Certified Tester, OSCP) or equivalent industry experience. Experience performing code reviews or code-assisted testing, particularly in Java and Go. Experience in automation of security testing (e.g. using Python or Go). Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
