This role involves conducting application penetration tests to identify security weaknesses in web, mobile and enterprise applications, assessing technical risks, and communicating practical remediation advice to clients. Candidates should have hands-on penetration-testing experience, strong knowledge of application security, vulnerability assessment methods and common standards such as OWASP. Experience with tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit or similar platforms is valuable. The Senior Consultant or Assistant Manager is expected to manage testing activities, prepare clear reports, support client discussions, contribute to business development and, at the higher level, guide junior team members. Relevant cybersecurity qualifications such as OSCP, CREST or equivalent certifications are advantageous. Strong communication, problem-solving, teamwork and consulting skills are essential.
EY, formerly Ernst & Young, is a global professional services organisation providing assurance, consulting, tax and strategy services to businesses, governments and institutions. Its technology consulting practice helps clients modernise systems, manage digital transformation, improve cyber resilience and address technology-related risks. EY operates across Ireland, with major offices in Dublin and other locations, and works with clients in sectors including financial services, public sector, healthcare, technology and consumer business. The company combines international resources with local market knowledge and offers structured career development, professional training and opportunities to work on complex client engagements. In cybersecurity, EY supports organisations with penetration testing, security strategy, incident response, risk management, regulatory compliance and broader technology assurance. Working at EY generally involves a collaborative, client-facing environment with opportunities for progression, although projects can require flexibility, travel and periods of high workload.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in technology, cybersecurity, financial services, pharmaceuticals, consulting and software, particularly in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. The country has a welcoming, social culture, English-speaking workplaces and a lively mix of traditional music, festivals, sport and modern city life. Dublin provides the broadest employment market but has high housing costs; Cork and Galway can offer a slower pace while still supporting technology careers. Public transport is improving, though a car is useful outside major cities. Non-EU nationals generally need an employment permit, and highly skilled technology professionals may qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit, subject to salary and occupation requirements. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work without a visa. Relocating requires planning for accommodation, tax registration, banking, healthcare and immigration paperwork. Ireland’s climate is mild but frequently wet, and its compact size makes travel around the island relatively easy.
