CONTRACTOR INDEX
Why Join Atlan Digital R&D
Work that matters. Rates that respect your expertise.
We believe the best offensive security work happens when specialists collaborate on challenging problems - not when generalists are stretched across too many domains.
Traditional consultancies often bench senior talent on routine assessments or dilute teams with junior resources to protect margins. Bug bounty platforms offer flexibility but lack the collaborative depth of structured engagements.
Atlan Digital R&D sits between these models. We assemble bespoke project teams - matching genuine specialists to the specific requirements of each engagement. You work alongside other senior contractors, not above juniors. Every engagement is scoped for your expertise, not padded for profit.
Contractor Benefits
Built for specialists, not bureaucracy.
Bespoke Specialist Teams
Work alongside other senior specialists, not juniors. Each engagement team is assembled to match scope - ICS specialists for OT assessments, mobile experts for app reviews, Red Team veterans for adversary simulation.
Professional Reporting Portal
Our bespoke reporting platform handles templates, version control, and client delivery. Focus on findings, not formatting. Collaborative editing, quality review workflows, and professional output without the administrative burden.
Complex Engagements
We deliver complex, multi-phase assessments across financial services, critical infrastructure, and enterprise environments. Multi-month Red Teams, not two-day checkbox exercises.
No Bench Time Pressure
We reach out when we have work that fits your profile. No pressure to take unsuitable assignments, no utilisation targets, no internal politics. Accept engagements that match your availability and interests.
Research & Development
Access to our internal R&D including Turul C2, ML-based evasion research, and emerging capability development. Contribute to proprietary tooling that stays proprietary.
