Role you're checking

Ethical Hacker

Technology

Ethical hackers (penetration testers) are hired to break systems before adversaries do. They scope engagements, conduct structured attack simulations — network, web app, mobile, cloud, social engineering — and deliver reproducible proof-of-concept reports with remediation guidance. In India, the role spans consulting firms (Bishop Fox India, Lucideus/SAFE Security, NetSPI, NotSoSecure), in-house red teams at Razorpay, CRED, Swiggy, Flipkart, and major PSU banks, and independent bug-bounty hunters on HackerOne and Bugcrowd. Unlike defensive security, ethical hackers must think offensively on demand: simulating APT lateral movement, chaining zero-days, and writing custom exploits — all under a signed rules-of-engagement document that defines the legal boundary.
