Role Overview
We are looking for early‑career security engineers to join the watchTowr Labs team and help expand our offensive security capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to R&D projects that push the limits of offensive security, replicating adversary tactics at scale, helping to uncover vulnerabilities and provide actionable insights.
- Support the design and implementation of cloud‑based infrastructure that underpins our offensive security tooling, learning how to build systems that operate at internet‑wide scale.
- Work with cloud‑native services to develop resilient, big‑data solutions that form part of our offensive security & data processing capabilities.
- Assist in building and maintaining robust data pipelines that seamlessly process attack surface & offensive security data, delivering real‑time insights to enhance our Red Team capabilities.

- Some experience or familiarity with cloud platforms and distributed systems.
- Curiosity and problem‑solving mindset: desire to learn, experiment, and tackle complex technical problems.
- Solid understanding of core networking concepts, with an interest in how vulnerabilities can be exploited in real‑world environments.
- Programming skills in Python, Go, or similar languages, with emphasis on building scalable, maintainable code.
- Evidence of active interest in cybersecurity outside of formal study (e.g., participation in CTFs, security clubs, hackathons, open‑source projects, personal research projects).
- Currently in the final year of, or a recent graduate from, a degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Cyber Security, or a closely related discipline.
Bonus Experience
- Worked on or contributed to open‑source projects.
- Hands‑on experience through labs, CTFs, or personal projects (e.g., red‑team experience, vulnerability research, capture‑the‑flag competitions).
- Basic understanding of common vulnerabilities and weaknesses in application, network, or cloud security.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation.
- Meaningful role with a key early contributor position in a fast‑growing cybersecurity business.
- Access to the best tools and powerful kits to effectively fulfil the role.
- Endless growth opportunities, including promotion from within as we expand.
