ModSecurity is an open-source project built and improved by a global community of developers, maintainers, and contributors. We are always open to welcoming new people, whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, expand your career in application security, or make an impact on one of the most widely used open-source WAF engines.
Your experience level doesn’t matter. Curiosity, willingness to learn, and a desire to strengthen the security ecosystem do.
What Roles Can I Join?
ModSecurity is a community-driven project, not a commercial company. While we don’t provide paid full-time positions, we offer something far more meaningful: the chance to contribute to a widely used security technology, learn from an experienced community, and help shape the future of open-source web application security.
There are many ways to get involved, depending on your interests and skills. Whether you’re early in your career or already established in security, contributing to ModSecurity can help you grow, build your reputation, and influence a global open-source project.
How Can I Apply?
Joining the project is simple and open to everyone. You can connect with maintainers and contributors in the #project-modsecurity channel on the OWASP Slack, which is the easiest way to ask questions, meet the team, and see where help is needed.
If you prefer a more direct approach, feel free to send us an email explaining why you’re interested and what you’d like to work on. We’re happy to help you find the right way to get involved.
