AWS Application Security Engineer

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.

ASE Responsibilities:

An ASE is responsible for assisting with triage and validation services for Bugcrowd’s managed programs. Under the direction of the Director of Security 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. Senior ASEs also handle Incident Response – escalating and communicating about the highest severity bugs to clients. Senior 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. Senior ASEs often take on special project management, training, and resource allocation tasks in assistance or collaboration with the Director of Security Operations and other team members. Senior ASEs also help identify any broken processes (or platform functions) related to the triage/validation process and escalate those issues to Product Engineering.

An ASE with focus on Amazon Web Services (AWS) will help verify vulnerabilities on AWS services, applications and websites.

Required Skills:

• Bachelor’s degree or previous security consulting experience is required
• Minimum 2 years of experience with AWS
• Minimum 2 years of experience with one programming language such as Java, C++, Python etc.
• 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). Full stack competency preferred
• High proficiency with web application vulnerabilities such as the OWASP Top 10
• Ability to execute on individual projects but still contribute to the team
