Job Title: Security Analyst, Attack Surface Management
Summary
The Attack Surface Management team owns what happens after a vulnerability is found. Findings arrive from red team pentests, adversary simulations, external bug bounty submissions, and scanning coverage. This role validates them, determines real impact, and drives them to closure with the engineering teams that own the affected assets. Critical findings route to Incident Response. Everything rated High and Medium is this team's responsibility until it is patched or a compensating control is in place and documented.
This is not a patch operations role. Separate teams apply fixes. This role decides what matters, why it matters, and holds the line until it is resolved.
Responsibilities
- Triage and validate inbound Bugcrowd submissions: reproduce the reported issue, confirm or reject it, deduplicate against known findings, and determine payout-relevant severity
- Independently assess impact rather than accepting a submitter's or a scanner's rating. Factor in exploitability, asset exposure, data sensitivity, authentication requirements, and existing controls
- Track High and Medium findings from red team engagements and adversary simulations through remediation, including retest and closure verification
- Evaluate and document compensating controls where a fix is not immediately viable, and set expiry conditions rather than leaving exceptions open indefinitely
- Write remediation guidance that an application or platform engineer can act on without further translation
- Escalate Critical findings to Incident Response with the reproduction detail and blast radius assessment they need to act
- Partner with application owners and product teams on remediation timelines, and raise risk acceptance decisions to leadership when timelines slip
- Maintain visibility into externally exposed assets and flag newly surfaced attack surface for assessment
Required Qualifications
- Two or more years in application security, vulnerability management, penetration testing, or bug bounty work
- Working proficiency in web application and API penetration testing. You should be able to independently reproduce a submitted finding, escalate it if the submitter undersold it, and prove it is a false positive if it is one
- Practical knowledge of OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Security Top 10, including what remediation actually looks like for each class of issue
- Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK techniques and the ability to connect a finding to how an attacker would chain it
- Severity determination beyond a CVSS calculator. You can explain why a High-scoring finding on an isolated internal asset may matter less than a Medium on an internet-facing authentication flow
- Hands-on experience with Burp Suite and standard web and API testing tooling
- Clear written communication. Much of this role is convincing an engineering team that a finding is real and worth their sprint capacity
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated bug bounty track record on Bugcrowd, HackerOne, or Intigriti
- Experience triaging submissions from the program side
- Cloud security exposure across AWS or Azure, particularly identity and storage misconfigurations
- Certifications such as BSCP, OSWA, OSCP, CPTS, or PNPT. A public bug bounty profile carries equal weight
Scripting in Python for reproduction harnesses and finding automation.
