About Upstox

At Upstox, we’re building the future of investing — simple, powerful, and for everyone. We're one of India’s fastest-growing fintech platforms, backed by the best in the business, including Mr. Ratan Tata and Tiger Global, and on a mission to make wealth creation accessible to every Indian. From first-time investors to seasoned traders, millions trust us to power their financial journeys. We're not just moving fast — we’re moving with purpose. If you thrive in a high-energy, high-impact setting, you're in the right place.

The Role:

As a Security Engineering Intern (AppSec), you will be embedded in the application security team at Upstox, working hands-on to identify, assess, and help remediate security vulnerabilities across our web, mobile, and API surfaces. This is not a bug-bounty role — we're looking for an engineer who can deeply understand application flows, reason about risk,



and contribute meaningfully to secure product development. You will work closely with engineering and product teams to build security into the SDLC, participate in architecture reviews and threat modelling, and help triage and manage our bug bounty program. Beyond testing, you will also contribute to security automation initiatives and internal tool development projects — writing scripts and building utilities that scale our security capabilities and reduce manual effort across the team.

We are looking for individuals who are self-driven, quick starters with a strong ownership mindset.

What You’ll Own

Your role will involve:
- Perform security testing across Web, Mobile, and API surfaces — identify

vulnerabilities, understand application flows end-to-end, and recommend effective

mitigations.
- Participate in security architecture reviews and threat modelling sessions alongside engineering and product teams.
- Triage and manage vulnerabili
