That assumes you hear of positions, and apply. I do auditing for fun in my spare time, and have reported issues in software as diverse as Emacs, evilvte, GNU Readline, gforge, oping, and NCSA Mosaic 2.1 (!).
Brief list - https://steve.fi/Security/Advisories/ https://steve.fi/Security/Advisories/
In all that time I've never once received an unsolicited offer/mail about "security". I do receive unsolicited contact from recruiters every other month or so, on the topic of Perl/Ruby/C++/etc.
(Interestingly I stopped getting recruiter mails from people asking about C++ when I moved a couple of personal github repositories into an organization of which I'm the main active member. I suspect that means recruiters are crawling github now.)
