Its purpose is safeguarding a brighter future for all by securing the bank, protecting customers, building recovery capability and creating an admired place to work.
You’ll join a collaborative penetration testing team supporting the Chief Technology Office, the infrastructure backbone of the bank. The team tests new and changing services across AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Azure; SaaS and enterprise platforms; networks; end-user computing; on-premises hosting; mainframes; engineering platforms; and AI-powered products.
This is a high-energy and transparent environment where people share ideas, ask questions and help one another. You’ll work alongside experienced penetration testers and partner with other security testing chapters when priorities or specialist expertise require a broader team response.
