Web application security testing platform and penetration testing tools
PortSwigger builds web application security tools anchored by Burp Suite, their flagship penetration testing platform. The engineering-heavy hiring mix (14 roles across senior and mid-level) combined with active projects around AI integration into Burp features and new product launches signals aggressive expansion beyond their core toolkit. Pain points around ramp time, culture scaling, and entering enterprise markets suggest a company transitioning from niche tool vendor to platform player.
PortSwigger develops software for security testing and vulnerability scanning of web applications, with Burp Suite established as a standard toolkit among web security professionals and penetration testers. The company operates from Knutsford, Cheshire, and is actively recruiting across engineering, support, and go-to-market functions across the UK and US. Their technical stack includes AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, and Jenkins—reflecting both multi-cloud infrastructure and CI/CD maturity. Active initiatives span AI feature development, new product releases, self-serve analytics for growth, and optimizations to the lead-to-cash sales cycle.
Core tools include Burp Suite, Salesforce, AWS, Azure, GCP, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS CDK. The stack reflects multi-cloud deployment and containerized infrastructure.
Key projects include AI integration into Burp Suite, new product launches, onboarding and enablement programs, self-serve dashboards for growth, and revenue cycle optimization.
