• In addition to our external users, you’ll be working on improving our platform for our amazing internal teams, such as the Application Security Engineers who review and test incoming vulnerabilities.
• Mentoring Junior and Mid-level Engineers to build the next generation of platform engineering experts

• Ruby on Rails or Kotlin
• Service-Oriented Architectures and Message Bus systems (particularly Kafka)
• JavaScript - we use React for our front end
• PostgreSQL
• Various AWS services
• System Architecture Design and particularly Domain-Driven Design and Context Modelling

Skills that are nice to have

• Containers: Docker, Kubernetes

• Knowledge of networking concepts (DNS, SSL, load balancing).
• Deep understanding of performance issues in web applications.
• Understanding of usability and accessibility.

Culture

• 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.
• We use an agile development methodology, but we’re not dogmatic about it. It’s meant to empower, not impose.
• We come from all over though: there are 24 different flags currently hanging in the office representing our countries of origin.
