The Mission

At CovertSwarm, we're redefining offensive security through constant, relentless attack. As a Specialist Hive Member, you'll be part of an elite team that discovers and exploits vulnerabilities others miss, helping to strengthen our clients' defenses through continuous assault.

The Opportunity

This isn't your standard security testing role. You're a focused specialist who thrives on finding creative ways to breach sophisticated defenses. Working alongside experienced operators, you'll develop and execute targeted attacks that push beyond traditional boundaries.

The Arsenal (Core Responsibilities)

  • Execute sophisticated security assessments across client environments
  • Develop and maintain targeted Attack Plans aligned to bespoke Attack Hypotheses
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships as a technical point of contact
  • Create actionable, threat-based reports that drive real security improvement
  • Perform security assessments across multiple domains: networks, applications, operating systems, and mobile platforms
  • Master both manual and automated tooling to enhance attack capabilities
  • Contribute actively to our internal knowledge base and client communities

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
