How old the open roles are, not how many get posted - our board coverage has grown over the last year, so a week-by-week series would measure us rather than the market. Snapshot taken September 2026.

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? 0 of the 1 penetration tester listing that publishes a work model came back remote-first. The other 5 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 6 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 available data. There are currently 6 open positions listed across 6 hiring companies, indicating that each employer with a live posting is seeking to fill at least one distinct role in this space. In the past week, 1 new role was posted, suggesting a steady but limited pace of new openings rather than a surge in hiring activity. Companies currently listed as top hirers for this role include Snowflake, Ajaib, Anthropic, Starling Bank, and Experian, spanning sectors such as cloud data platforms, fintech, AI research, digital banking, and credit and analytics services. This diversity suggests that penetration testing skills are sought across multiple industries rather than being concentrated in a single vertical, according to current postings. Regarding compensation, too few current listings disclose a specific pay range to support a reliable median figure at this time. Job seekers interested in specific salary expectations should consult individual job listings directly, as compensation details vary by employer and are not consistently disclosed in aggregate data. Given the relatively small number of open positions (6) relative to the number of hiring companies (6), the market appears narrow but not saturated, with roughly one opening per listed employer based on current data. This snapshot reflects a niche but persistent demand for cybersecurity expertise, particularly from companies handling sensitive data, financial transactions, or advanced technology infrastructure. Candidates evaluating this market should treat these figures as a current, limited snapshot rather than a comprehensive trend indicator, since the dataset reflects only a small number of live postings at this time. Anyone tracking this role over time should watch for changes in weekly posting volume and shifts in the list of hiring companies to gauge whether demand is expanding or contracting.

What is the salary range for Penetration Tester positions?

Based on current postings, there are 6 open positions across 6 hiring companies, with only 1 new role posted in the past week, suggesting a relatively small and slow-moving segment of the job market at this time.
