Careers
Pick a role, then work backwards
Day-to-day reality, the skills hiring managers screen for, and the evidence that gets you an interview.
Job titles in security are unreliable, so each career page describes the work rather than the label: what you would actually do in a week, which skills interviews test, and what a realistic route in looks like from where you are now.
None of these pages promise salaries or timelines we cannot substantiate. What they do give you is the shape of the role, the failure modes people hit in their first months, and portfolio work that demonstrates the skill instead of asserting it.
What this section covers
- Scope: the day-to-day work and who you work with.
- Skills: what is genuinely tested at interview, separated from what job adverts list.
- Evidence: portfolio work you can build without an employer's data.
- Progression: where the role leads and which adjacent roles it feeds.
