About the Role
As a Senior Penetration Tester (Web/API & Agentic/MCP), you will conduct authorized penetration testing across Sitecore's SaaS platforms, APIs, and AI/agent-driven services to identify and eliminate exploitable weaknesses prior to release. You will also act as a trusted security partner to engineering teams, advising on secure design, testing decisions, and risk remediation.
What You'll Do
Perform authorized web application and API penetration testing on Sitecore products, focusing on auth/authz, business-logic abuse, IDOR/BOLA, SSRF, XSS and other injection flaws and multi-tenant isolation failures common in SaaS platforms
Conduct deep API security testing across REST/GraphQL, including OAuth 2.0 / OIDC flows, JWT handling, audience/scope validation, and permission-model abuse
Execute agentic / MCP penetration testing, including tool‑abuse scenarios, prompt‑to‑action exploit chains, cross‑tool data exfiltration paths, and validation of agent workflows invoking internal services
Use Burp Suite as the primary manual testing tool for custom attack flows, protocol‑level manipulation, and WAF bypass where applicable
Apply white‑box or hybrid testing when needed by reviewing mainly C# / ASP.NET Core source code to identify untrusted data flows (sources → sinks) and then dynamically confirm exploitability through real request execution
Test cloud‑native attack paths in containers / Pods / Kubernetes, including container escape / "escape to host" and cluster misconfiguration exploitation where relevant
Produce clear, actionable reports with PoCs, reproducible steps, impact assessment, and concrete remediation guidance, and support teams through fix validation and retesting
What You Need to Succeed
3+ years of hands‑on penetration testing experience focused on web applications and APIs (not general security testing)
One or more offensive security certifications (e.g., OSCP, OSWE, CWEE, GWEB, GWAPT or equivalent) demonstrating practical exploitation skills
Strong proficiency with Burp Suite and modern web/API exploitation techniques
Ability to clearly communicate findings and coach engineering teams on secure fixes and prevention
Strong analytical mindset and ability to reason about realistic attack paths in cloud‑native, multi‑tenant systems
Additional Skills That Could Set You Apart
Demonstrated offensive track record (bug bounties, CVEs, published research/tools, or strong lab performance such as PortSwigger/HTB)
Scripting or coding skills for PoCs and automation (Python, C#, PowerShell, JavaScript)
Experience translating threat models into concrete abuse/attack scenarios and using them to uncover security gaps across components, data flows, and trust boundaries
Familiarity with CI/CD and engineering workflows (e.g., Azure DevOps) and Secure SDLC practices
