Cobalt was founded on the belief that penetration testing can be easier and more accessible. Penetration testing is the process of conducting an authorized, simulated cyberattack on a computer system, also known as ethical hacking. 

Cobalt pioneered the Pentest as a Service (PtaaS) space by pairing a SaaS platform with an exclusive community of highly vetted testers to disrupt the old school way of testing. Today, over 1,000 customers use Cobalt to run pentests that start faster, produce stronger results, and integrate with modern development cycles.

We’re an award-winning (and fully remote) workplace with Scandinavian roots, an American base, and a global outlook. Together, we’re committed to helping agile teams remediate risk quickly and innovate securely.

With over 45 nationalities already at Cobalt (and counting), we respect and celebrate diversity. We’re proudly committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, or place of origin. To create an inclusive environment at Cobalt, we host bi-weekly inclusion, diversity, equity, and awareness (IDEA) discussions to learn, share and support each other. We are grateful for each Cobalter's contribution to our mission — let's make security dance!

Cobalt is a 100% remote-first, flexible workplace. We fully equip all Cobalters with the tools they need to do their job from home (or wherever), including a monthly stipend for WiFi and remote lunches. We have also partnered with UpFlex to provide our US and UK Cobalters with the option to work from a co-working space near them and an optional membership at Mindspace Berlin for all Cobalters located in Germany. Even better – Cobalt are a dog-friendly company!

With flexible working hours, our working style is asynchronous. With Cobalters distributed across the US, Germany, and the UK (and soon to expand to more locations), we want to ensure a healthy work-life balance is maintained and Cobalters are able to focus on what matters the most to them.

We also offer excellent benefits, including an unlimited holiday allowance, an attractive equity plan, and travel bonus payouts at your 2, 3, and 5-year anniversary.
