Job Summary
About Fam (previously FamPay)
Fam is Indias first payments app for everyone above 11. FamApp helps make online and offline payments through UPI and FamCard. We are on a mission to raise a new financially aware generation and drive 250 million youngest users in India to kickstart their financial journey super early in their life.
Founded in 2019 by IIT Roorkee alumni Fam is backed by some of the most respected investors around the world like Elevation Capital Y-Combinator Peak XV (Sequoia Capital) India Venture Highway Global Founders Capital and the likes of Kunal Shah Amrish Rao as angel investors.
About the Role
We are looking for a Security Enthusiast who thinks like a hacker but works for the good guys. You shouldnt just find bugs; you should be obsessed with understanding why they exist and how to fix them for good.
As an Application Security Engineer Intern you will be the first line of defense for the Fam. You will break things before the bad guys do automate security checks and work side-by-side with our engineering team to build a fortress around our users hard-earned money.
If you get a rush from finding an RCE live on r/netsec or spend your weekends capturing flags or bounties this role is for you.
Note: This is an onsite internship at Fam HQ Bangalore.
