Ethical Hacker (Penetration Testing Specialist)
As an Ethical Hacker at MaxiMize Infinium, you will probe the world's most sensitive digital perimeters. You will conduct authorized adversarial operations against government networks, defense infrastructure, and Fortune 100 enterprise systems — identifying vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them.
The Role
About the Role
Ethical hacking at MaxiMize Infinium is not checkbox compliance testing. It is adversarial simulation at sovereign-security grade. You will design and execute penetration tests against complex multi-layer architectures, web applications, cloud infrastructure, mobile platforms, and physical security systems.
Your findings feed directly into S3-SENTINEL's security architecture and CryptoSuite's encryption hardening. You will work alongside cryptography engineers, security architects, and cyber forensics investigators — all operating under a zero-breach mandate across 18 countries and 45+ jurisdictions.

Responsibilities
- Plan and execute authorized penetration tests against network infrastructure, web applications, cloud environments, and mobile platforms
- Conduct vulnerability assessments using industry-standard tools and custom exploit development
- Perform social engineering assessments including phishing simulations and physical security testing
- Document findings with detailed technical reports including proof-of-concept exploits and remediation recommendations
- Collaborate with S3-SENTINEL security architects to validate and harden defensive measures
- Research emerging threats, zero-day vulnerabilities, and attack vectors relevant to client infrastructure
- Conduct red team exercises simulating advanced persistent threat (APT) methodologies
- Test cryptographic implementations and identify weaknesses in encryption deployments
- Participate in threat modeling sessions to identify attack surfaces in new architectures
- Maintain strict operational security and confidentiality across all testing engagements

- Deep understanding of network protocols, operating systems, and web application architectures
- Proficiency with penetration testing tools (Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark, etc.)
- Experience with exploit development and vulnerability research
- Knowledge of OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK framework, and industry security standards
- Scripting and programming skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell, or equivalent)
- Understanding of cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization technologies
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to forensic detail
Preferred
- OSCP, OSCE, GPEN, or equivalent penetration testing certification
- Experience with post-quantum cryptography concepts and cryptographic audit
- Background in reverse engineering and binary exploitation
- Knowledge of regulatory compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP)
- Experience with red team operations and adversary emulation
Requirements
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Security, or related field
- 3+ years of hands-on penetration testing or offensive security experience

Reality of the Role
A Day in the Life
Every day as a Ethical Hacker (Penetration Testing Specialist) at MaxiMize Infinium is different. Here is what you can expect.
Morning: Strategy and Analysis
Your day typically begins with a stand-up through LITHVIK N1, reviewing overnight data and flagging any urgent items. You will dive into analytical work — examining workflow data, running simulation models, or reviewing dashboard metrics — with full ownership of your deliverables from day one.
Collaboration happens organically. You will sync with domain experts across GOVERN G5, CEREBRAS P5, S3-SENTINEL, or whichever platforms are relevant to your current projects. There are no approval chains — just focused work with clear ownership.
Afternoon: Execution and Delivery
After lunch, the focus shifts to execution. You will be building, analyzing, or delivering — depending on where your current projects stand. Cross-functional collaboration peaks in the afternoon as teams align on deliverables and next steps.
You will engage with clients or internal stakeholders to present findings, walk through optimization recommendations, or demo new capabilities. Every presentation is an opportunity to demonstrate the direct impact of your analytical work on operational outcomes.
Evening: Reflection and Planning
The close of day is for documentation, knowledge capture, and planning tomorrow. You will update your project tracking, log key findings in our internal knowledge base, and align on priorities for the next day through LITHVIK N1's task management.
No two weeks are the same. Projects evolve, priorities shift, and new challenges emerge. You will be empowered to manage your own time and prioritize work that drives the greatest impact.
Weekly Rhythms
Each week includes team syncs, cross-track knowledge shares, and project check-ins. You will participate in structured mentorship sessions, occasional client workshops, and internal innovation sprints where new ideas are evaluated and advanced.
Performance is measured by outcomes, not hours logged. We care about the quality of your analysis, the impact of your recommendations, and how effectively you collaborate with the broader team.
