We're a small, early-stage team where offensive testing, research, and teaching meet. If you're excellent at the craft and generous with knowledge, let's talk.
ByteDefender is an early-stage, practitioner-led firm where research, offensive testing, and education sit side by side. We're building a small team of people who are excellent at the craft — and generous with what they know.
We publish. You'll have genuine scope to investigate, write, and present — not just bill hours.
Work directly alongside senior offensive security and research expertise, every day.
Canadian-based and remote-friendly, with outcomes valued over hours logged.
Small team, senior work — no getting lost on a junior bench doing rote tasks.
A real budget for certifications, conferences, and continued learning.
Join early enough that your ideas shape how ByteDefender is built.
These are the roles we're building toward as we scale. Even where a listing isn't formally open yet, we'd love to hear from strong candidates early.
Offensive testing across web, network, and cloud. Strong hands-on skills and clear reporting.
Advisory, risk assessments, and vCISO support for clients building their security programs.
Design and deliver hands-on courses and labs. Teaching experience and offensive skills both valued.
Contribute to applied research in cloud, IoT, or satellite security. Great for students and grads.
We're always glad to meet talented people. Send us your CV and tell us how you'd contribute.
