Our mission is to protect the trust that customers place in us every day, while fostering a culture where curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning thrive.

At arenaflex, security is not an afterthought—it is woven into the fabric of every product, service, and transaction. Our dedicated Security Operations and Research teams work hand‑in‑hand with engineers, product managers, and external partners to anticipate threats, discover vulnerabilities, and build resilient defenses. As part of this mission, we are expanding our Bug Bounty and Vulnerability Disclosure Program, and we need a talented Remote Security Vulnerability Analyst to help us stay ahead of attackers.

Role Overview

The Remote Security Vulnerability Analyst will play a pivotal role in shaping arenaflex’s bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure initiatives. Working from the comfort of your home office, you will design, implement, and refine proof‑of‑concept (PoC) exploits, evaluate reported findings, and collaborate with both internal and external security researchers. This position offers a unique blend of technical depth, strategic thinking, and mentorship, allowing you to influence the security posture of a Fortune‑1 organization while advancing your own expertise.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and validate advanced proof‑of‑concept exploits for identified security weaknesses across a diverse technology stack, including cloud services, IoT devices, mobile applications, and custom hardware.
• Conduct thorough triage of vulnerability reports submitted by external researchers, assessing severity, reproducibility, and potential impact on arenaflex’s assets.
• Execute both automated and manual testing techniques to verify remediation efforts and ensure that fixes address root‑cause issues without introducing regressions.
• Collaborate closely with product engineering, DevOps, and incident response teams to communicate findings, recommend mitigations, and track remediation progress.
• Identify recurring patterns and systemic weaknesses in application, architecture, and deployment configurations, and propose strategic improvements to reduce future risk.
• Maintain and enhance metrics that clearly illustrate the health, growth, and effectiveness of the bug bounty program, presenting insights to senior leadership on a regular cadence.
• Continuously research emerging attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to keep arenaflex’s defensive capabilities aligned with the evolving threat landscape.
• Mentor junior security analysts and serve as a thought leader for the broader security community, sharing best practices, tools, and methodologies.
• Participate in cross‑functional security initiatives, such as secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) enhancements, threat modeling workshops, and security awareness campaigns.

Essential Qualifications

• Minimum 3‑5 years of hands‑on experience in vulnerability research, bug bounty program management, or related security analysis roles.
• Demonstrated track record of discovering and responsibly disclosing high‑impact vulnerabilities in complex environments (e.g., cloud platforms, IoT ecosystems, mobile ecosystems).
• Strong proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Go, JavaScript) and scripting for exploit development and automation.
• Deep understanding of modern security concepts, including OWASP Top 10, CWE/SANS Top 25, and common attack vectors such as injection, authentication bypass, and privilege escalation.
• Experience with security testing tools (e.g., Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, Wireshark) and familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and cloud security controls (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, concise vulnerability reports and executive‑level summaries.
• Self‑motivated, detail‑oriented, and capable of thriving in a fully remote work environment while maintaining high productivity and collaboration standards.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience managing a public or private bug bounty program, including incentive structures, researcher outreach, and program metrics.
• Relevant certifications such as OSCP, OSCE, CISSP, or GIAC GPEN.
• Familiarity with secure coding practices and the ability to conduct code reviews for security flaws.
• Experience with threat intelligence platforms, open‑source intelligence (OSINT) gathering, and adversary emulation frameworks.
• Background in teaching, public speaking, or community engagement within the security research community.
