The posting

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

If you like owning problems end to end, making security a default property of everything we build, and working closely with engineering, we want to meet you. Bugcrowd is looking for security engineers who move beyond standard tooling and drive measurable security outcomes our customers can rely on. You will help us shape a culture where security helps others succeed, not just points out problems.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Partner Closely with Engineering: Refine architecture, validate new features, and drive security investment while prioritizing engineering velocity
  • Build Security Paved Roads: Contribute to the secure defaults, libraries, and "paved roads" that systematically eradicate entire classes of vulnerabilities rather than fixing bugs one by one
  • Create Feedback Loops: Tune security tooling such as SAST, DAST, SCA, and secret scanning to reduce noise and focus on what matters
  • Be our Best Customer: Ensure our bug bounty program can be a model for other customers. Experiment with new ways to leverage the creativity of the crowd. Provide feedback on new platform features to engineering and product
  • Own Projects End to End: Lead cross-functional product security projects from scoping through delivery, influencing product and engineering roadmaps and clearly communicating risk to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Amplify our Impact: Use code and automation as a lever to scale coverage and eliminate repetitive work. Build systems based on incentives and accountability rather than just bureaucratic process

Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

  • 3+ years of experience in product security, application security, or secure software development
  • Can review code, automate tasks, and build security tooling in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Ruby, Java)
  • Hands-on experience with core application security practices — threat modeling, secure code review, and automated testing (SAST, DAST, SCA) — and a solid grasp of common vulnerability classes (e.g., OWASP Top 10)
  • Demonstrated ability to manage projects and influence cross-functional partners across engineering, DevOps, and product.
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or relevant field, or equivalent practical experience

Bonus Points (Preferred but not required)

  • Previous experience with Bug Bounty or vulnerability disclosure programs
  • A background in building "paved roads" or secure-by-default internal libraries to eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities
  • Hands-on experience securing cloud-native platforms and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker)
  • Experience working within a fast-paced, high-growth security or SaaS company

Working Conditions and Physical Requirements

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

Culture

  • At Bugcrowd, we understand that diversity in the workplace is vital to a company’s success and growth. We strive to make sure that people are included and have a sense of being part of making Bugcrowd not only a great product but a great place to work.
  • We regularly hear from both customers and researchers that Bugcrowd feels like a family, and we strive to maintain that internally as well.
  • Our team consists of a broad range of people: musicians, adventure sports junkies, nature lovers, parents, cereal enthusiasts, night owls, cyclists, artists—you get the point.

At Bugcrowd, we are solving security threats and vulnerabilities that are relevant to everyone, therefore we believe solving these problems takes all kinds of backgrounds. We value the perspectives and experiences people from underrepresented backgrounds bring.

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.
