Key Responsibilities

• Perform Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) for web applications, APIs, mobile applications, networks, infrastructure, and cloud environments.
• Conduct security assessments using both automated tools and manual testing techniques.
• Perform reconnaissance, enumeration, vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and post-exploitation activities where applicable.
• Identify, validate, and document vulnerabilities with appropriate severity, risk ratings, technical evidence, and remediation recommendations.
• Test applications against OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10, and relevant security testing methodologies.
• Perform manual testing to identify vulnerabilities that may not be detected by automated scanners.
• Prepare detailed technical VAPT reports and executive summaries, including vulnerability description, impact, evidence, reproduction steps, severity, and remediation.
• Conduct vulnerability re-validation after remediation.
• Participate in client discussions and technical walkthroughs to explain findings and remediation requirements.
• Participate in authorized bug bounty and responsible vulnerability disclosure programs.
• Perform reconnaissance and attack-surface discovery for in-scope bug bounty assets.
• Identify and validate vulnerabilities such as IDOR/BOLA, authentication and authorization flaws, business logic vulnerabilities, XSS, SQL Injection, SSRF, CSRF, API vulnerabilities, and security misconfigurations.
• Develop appropriate Proof of Concept (PoC) and clearly document vulnerability reproduction steps.
• Research emerging vulnerabilities, CVEs, exploits, attack techniques, and security trends.
• Participate in CTF challenges, security research, and internal knowledge-sharing activities.
• Collaborate with application, development, infrastructure, and security teams to understand application architecture and security requirements.
• Contribute to improving internal VAPT methodologies, checklists, and security testing processes.

Required Skills:

• Good understanding of Web Application Security and common vulnerabilities.
• Strong knowledge of OWASP Top 10 and familiarity with OWASP API Security Top 10.
• Understanding of REST APIs, authentication, authorization, session management, input validation, and API security.
• Good understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, SSL/TLS, ports, and network protocols.
• Working knowledge of Linux and Windows operating systems.
• Understanding of VAPT methodologies and vulnerability management.
• Ability to analyze vulnerabilities and understand their technical and business impact.
• Good analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong technical documentation and communication skills.
• Practical exposure to bug bounty, CTFs, security research, or cybersecurity labs is an advantage.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
• Relevant certifications such as eJPT, PJPT, CEH, Security+, OSCP/OSCP+, CRTP, or equivalent are an added advantage.
• Candidates with recognized bug bounty submissions, acknowledged vulnerabilities, CVEs, CTF achievements, security research, or relevant cybersecurity projects will be preferred.
