About the Role
State Street is seeking a Senior Penetration Testing Engineer to join their Penetration Testing Team. This is a deeply technical engineering role with strong hands-on expectations, focusing on building and applying rigorous testing approaches to evaluate security control effectiveness across complex systems within a regulated banking environment.
Responsibilities
- Design and manage third-party network penetration tests, including scoping, vendor selection, rules of engagement, quality assurance, and validation of results.
- Lead end-to-end application penetration testing across internal and third-party providers (web, API), including scoping, execution, exploitation, and retesting.
- Perform advanced testing across authn/authz, business logic, injection, API abuse, crypto misuse, and access control weaknesses.
- Establish and enforce testing standards for both internal teams and external vendors to ensure consistency, depth, and regulatory defensibility.
- Deliver high-quality, regulator-ready reporting with clear exploitability, risk context, and actionable remediation guidance.
- Lead the use of AI/LLM-enabled testing techniques and conduct assurance testing of enterprise AI/LLM deployments (e.g., prompt injection, model abuse, data exposure risks).
- Partner with engineering and infrastructure teams to validate remediation, reduce recurrence, and strengthen secure development and deployment practices.
Requirements
- 5+ years in penetration testing with strong experience across both application and network testing in high-security/highly regulated environments.
- Experience managing third-party penetration testing vendors, including quality validation and outcome assurance.
- Deep expertise in application penetration testing (web, APIs, mobile) and solid understanding of enterprise network attack paths.
- Strong knowledge of modern architectures (cloud-native, microservices, identity platforms, CI/CD pipelines).
- Ability to translate technical findings into actionable, risk-based remediation guidance and influence stakeholders.
- Experience using AI/LLM tools to perform network and application penetration testing and configuration/security reviews is a plus.
