Founded in 2012, Bugcrowd is the preemptive security platform that unifies exposure discovery and assessment, offensive testing, and intelligence shaped by AI and human insight to help organizations avoid, discover, and validate real-world risk. Bugcrowd helps security teams move faster by identifying the exposures that matter most so they can act first and stay ahead of attackers. By combining the power of humans and AI, teams can preempt attack paths and prevent breaches. Based in San Francisco and New Hampshire, Bugcrowd is supported by General Catalyst, Rally Ventures, Costanoa Ventures, and others. Visit www.bugcrowd.com.

Job Summary

At Bugcrowd, we handle application security assessment at an epic scale. As an Application Security Engineer (ASE) you will curate and manage the incoming security vulnerability submissions to some of the world’s biggest companies’ bug bounty programs. Here are just a few of the reasons why we are the best:

  • A tenure at Bugcrowd often means you have worked on not only one company’s security program but potentially on hundreds.
  • As an ASE at Bugcrowd you will be exposed to the Internet’s best security researchers and their cutting-edge security testing methodologies. Our ASEs quickly become technically fluent in obscure/complex XSS, SQLi, XXE, IDOR, SSTI, SSRF, and many other vulnerability types. There is no other organization that offers the learning opportunity that Bugcrowd does.
  • You will be exposed to things outside of your comfort zone. We routinely run security programs for cars, IoT devices, embedded systems, mobile applications, and more!
  • We have an awesome team and tons of perks. We’ve even been selected as one of “The 10 Coolest Security Startups Of 2016” by crn.com.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

An ASE is responsible for the ongoing triage and validation services of Bugcrowd managed programs. Under the direction of the Director of Technical Operations, you will take incoming submission data and curate it for validity, accuracy, and severity as well as communicate directly with Bugcrowd’s clients or researchers when additional information is required. ASEs also handle Incident Response – escalating and communicating about the highest severity bugs to clients. ASEs need to have strong knowledge of OWASP Top Ten type vulnerabilities. They also usually require a strong skill set in one scripting/development language, often to assist with the design or development of tooling for improving the triage/validation process. The ASE position is perfect for security professionals looking to take their skills to the next level.

Education, Experience, Skills, & Abilities

  • Bachelor’s degree or previous security consulting experience
  • Published and demonstrated passion for security assessment research
  • High proficiency with Burp Suite (or any other interception proxy) and a working level of experience with other industry standard tools (nmap, sqlmap, anything included in Kali Linux)
  • Ability to execute on individual projects but still contribute to the team
  • Ability to complete tasks on time
  • Strong organization, influencing, and communication skills

Working Conditions

The ideal candidate must be able to complete all physical requirements of the job with or without reasonable accommodation.

Sitting and/or standing - Must be able to remain in a stationary position 50% of the time

Carrying and /or lifting - Must be able to carry / move laptop as needed throughout the work day.

Environment - remote, work-from-home 100% of the time.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
