One of our most prolific bug bounty hunters did exactly that. And what is even more impressive / exotic is how he finds the bugs. With "just" a browser and very little Burping.

Anecdotical, but it happens.

Honestly that sounds more like a problem with your code base rather than any exceptional skill.

Hosting multiple 100's of internally build complex services tends to enlarge the attack space quite drastically.

Where I agree most bugs are self inflicted, there are plenty found in acquired software too.

I am not at liberty to dox him :) Asked him but he pervers his relative anonymity.
