Line of Service AdvisoryIndustry/Sector TechnologySpecialism Cybersecurity & PrivacyManagement Level Senior AssociateJob Description & SummaryPwc Luxembourg is hiring a Pentester Web Consultant (m/f/d). What if it was you?Your mission: Have you ever wanted to pop an XSS in the back-office of a web Banking platform, legally and for a good reason? Do you want to hunt for auth flaws, access control issues, and business logic bugs in real client environments, without the usual frustration of a “dup” or a bad triage decision? Do you want to join a team that researches, builds, shares, and actually enjoys the work together, instead of doing everything solo behind a laptop?As a Junior / Senior Web Application Penetration Tester, you will help our clients identify vulnerabilities before malicious threat actors can exploit them. You will work with a wide range of clients, including banks, European institutions, public sector organisations, and companies in the financial and operational sectors.Your role will focus primarily on web application penetration testing engagements, from targeted assessments to complex, multi-layered assignments involving modern applications, APIs, authentication flows, and business-critical internet-facing services. This is hands-on work, not a role limited to polished presentations and theoretical recommendations. We do not just produce fancy PowerPoint slides. We test real applications, chain realistic attack paths, validate what is actually exploitable, and help clients fix what truly matters. Whether you are building your experience or already bringing strong web offensive skills, you will have room to grow, specialise, and make a visible impact.You will join a team of experienced, dedicated, and passionate professionals who take offensive security seriously. Research, experimentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous progression are part of the day-to-day work here.
