As a VAPT Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, executing, and reporting on comprehensive vulnerability assessment and penetration testing engagements across cloud, web, mobile, and network environments. Leveraging your expertise in Automated Security Reconnaissance (ASR) frameworks, you will uncover hidden attack vectors and validate zero‑day exploits, ensuring that all findings are actionable and align with industry best practices. Your role will also involve collaborating with development and security teams to remediate identified risks, maintain threat intelligence feeds, and contribute to the evolution of the organization’s security posture. You will serve as a trusted advisor in the continuous improvement of security controls, delivering insights that influence product design, architecture resilience, and overall cyber risk strategy.
