businessAbout Thruster Security

Thruster Security is a growing organisation in Continuous Security Validation, delivering advanced solutions such as Pen Testing as a Service (PTaaS), Red Team as a Service (RTaaS), and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM).

Our mission is to empower organisations to innovate with confidence by identifying and addressing critical vulnerabilities through a combination of automation and manual expertise. Our Verification Engine ensures that only actionable and exploitable vulnerabilities are reported, minimising noise and false positives. With developer-centric workflows, strategic risk visibility, and audit-ready compliance reporting, we support businesses in achieving security and growth simultaneously.

rocket_launchThe Mission

"We aren't looking for 'checklist' pentesters. We are building a unified PTaaS/RTaaS & CTEM platform, and we need a researcher to fuel our engine with real-world adversary techniques. As our Offensive Security Researcher, you will spend your time breaking things, finding 0-days, and turning vulnerabilities into weaponised exploits for our RTaaS module. You will work with AI technology to streamline offensive operations."
