Every open penetration tester role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.

Open to remote only? 1 of the 4 penetration tester listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 3 more are hybrid. The other 1 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

Posted pay only - no estimates

What the listings actually printed.

Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

1 of the 5 open penetration tester listings states an annual base range - short of the 5 we require before publishing percentiles. The penetration tester salary guide reads a rolling 90-day window, which is a wider sample than the roles open today.

About Penetration Tester roles

The current market for Penetration Tester roles shows a modest but active hiring landscape, based on current postings. There are 5 open positions available across 5 hiring companies, indicating that each employer currently tracked has at least one active opening for this role. Within the past week, 1 new role was posted, suggesting a slow but steady pace of new opportunities entering the market rather than a surge in demand. The companies currently listed as hiring for Penetration Tester positions include Ajaib, Anthropic, Starling Bank, Oneleet (YC S22), and Almond, representing a mix of organizations across different sectors such as technology, artificial intelligence, financial services, and security-focused firms. This diversity suggests that the demand for penetration testing expertise, according to available data, spans multiple industries rather than being concentrated in a single vertical. Regarding compensation, too few current listings disclose a specific pay range to support a reliable median salary figure for this role. Readers interested in compensation details are encouraged to review individual job listings directly, as pay information may vary by company, location, and experience level, and is best assessed on a case-by-case basis rather than through an aggregated estimate. Overall, based on current postings, the Penetration Tester job market appears to be a niche but consistent space with a limited number of active openings. Job seekers should note that with only 5 open roles across 5 companies, competition for each position may be relatively focused, and candidates may benefit from closely reviewing the specific requirements listed by each of the five hiring companies. As more data becomes available, trends in hiring velocity and compensation transparency may become clearer, but for now, the market reflects a small, specialized segment of the broader cybersecurity hiring landscape.
