About The Role

As an Ethical Hacker at DongIT, you will be directly involved in testing and improving the security of web applications, APIs, mobile apps, networks, and even IoT systems. Our projects vary: from black-box pentests to red team exercises, phishing simulations, and social engineering assessments. Your primary goal is to identify weaknesses, demonstrate their actual impact, and produce reports that clients can understand and utilize to enhance security.

What You’ll Do

  • Perform penetration tests on web applications, APIs, mobile apps, networks (internal and external), and IoT devices.
  • Review cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) to find misconfigurations and security risks.
  • Examine source codes to detect vulnerabilities.
  • Detect and exploit vulnerabilities to show risk and impact.
  • Write clear, actionable reports that help clients improve their security.
  • Discuss findings with clients and support remediation.
  • Research new vulnerabilities and attack techniques to stay sharp.
  • Contribute to red team, phishing, or social engineering projects.
  • Collaborate with the team to deliver high-quality results and share knowledge.
  • Keep improving your skills through projects, training, and certifications.

Note: Don't worry if you don't tick every box. We value curiosity, a hacker mindset, and a willingness to learn more than a perfect match.
