Desired Skills & Experience
  • Preferred: Bachelors degree in IT, Computer Science, or a related field
  • 5-7+ years total engineering experience
  • 3-5+ years of commercial Software Engineering, with at least 1-2 of that being in something close to our tech stack (RoR, Kotlin, Spring, Kafka, React, etc.)
  • Experience as a software engineering contributor, preferably to a level of expertise in one or more relevant fields or technology stacks
  • Software development in Ruby on Rails, Kotlin and Spring, or Java and Spring
  • Event-driven software design at scale, particularly software that uses a message bus architecture (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ), and the various trade-offs of a Service-oriented Architecture versus a traditional MVC monolith
  • An understanding of the security industry, particularly in the Bug Bounty or Penetration Testing space, and how Bugcrowd fits into the larger picture for our customers and hackers
  • Keen understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle at previous companies, and how the  SDLC can differ across companies, and how Scrum should be applied in theory and in practice
  • Decent writing skills
 
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.
