Who are PortSwigger:
PortSwigger is a company built around a simple belief: security should empower people, not slow them down. We create world-class tooling that helps security teams and developers uncover and fix real vulnerabilities, the kind that actually matter. Our products are crafted with care, backed by deep research, and shaped by a relentless drive to make the web safer for everyone.
We’re a successful, engineering-led organisation where small squads are empowered to take forward work in a suitable way, high-leverage work. Curiosity fuels us, craftsmanship defines us, and mutual support keeps us growing together. Here, you’ll have real agency, clear direction, and the freedom to push boundaries, supported by thoughtful coaching and a culture that values learning as much as delivery.
The Technology Tribe:
The Technology tribe builds and runs the platforms, systems and tools that power everything at PortSwigger. From technical direction to day-to-day reliability, they shape the foundation that helps our products shine and our teams move fast with confidence.
They embed secure-by-default thinking into everything we do. From managing risk to protecting our systems and data, they take ownership of keeping PortSwigger safe as the company scales.
They work hand in hand with Product and Engineering to make smart pragmatic architectural choices. Whether it’s levelling up our platforms, simplifying how teams ship or solving hard cross-cutting problems, they make it easier for Swiggers to deliver incredible work at scale.
Join Technology if you want to build the systems that help every Swigger work faster, safer and smarter.
