Job Description

About us

We’re an early-stage startup building practical security-first tools and services for businesses. Small, scrappy, and high-growth — we move fast, ship often, and value curiosity, responsibility, and clear thinking. This internship is for someone who wants real, hands-on experience across engineering, security operations, and product — not busywork.

Role overview

We’re hiring a Generalist Intern to support engineering and cybersecurity efforts across the stack. You’ll work closely with founders and senior engineers on real features, security tooling, incident response playbooks, automation and day-to-day product tasks. Expect a steep learning curve, mentorship, and the chance to own small projects end-to-end.

What you’ll do (examples)

• Assist with front-end and back-end feature development (JavaScript/Node.js, basic web frameworks).
   
• Help maintain and extend internal security tooling and automation (scripts, CI/CD pipeline tasks).
   
• Participate in security monitoring, triage, and simple incident response activities under supervision.
   
• Run vulnerability scans, help track findings, and verify remediation.
   
• Write and maintain technical docs, runbooks, and test cases.
   
• Build small automation scripts to reduce developer toil (deploy helpers, alerts triage).
   
• Shadow customer or internal demos and help prepare technical materials.
    

What we’ll teach you / you’ll learn

• Practical secure development and secure-by-design thinking.
   
• Version control best practices, CI/CD, and release pipelines.
   
• Basics of vulnerability scanning, SAST/DAST tools, and remediation workflows.
   
• Building production-ready code, testing, and deployment.
   
• How to triage incidents and communicate technical issues to non-technical stakeholders.
   
• Product lifecycle and how security fits into product decisions.
   

Job Requirements

Who we’re looking for (must-haves)

• Curious, proactive, and keen to learn — not afraid to ask questions.
   
• Some coding experience (JavaScript is preferred; Node.js, Python, or similar).
   
• Familiarity with Git and basic command-line tools.
   
• Good written and verbal communication.
   
• Able to work independently and in small teams.
   
• Currently studying or recently graduated in Computer Science, InfoSec, or related field — or equivalent self-taught experience.
   
• Able to commit to a 6-month paid internship with hybrid presence in the office as required.
   

Nice-to-haves

• Basic understanding of web security concepts (XSS, CSRF, OWASP Top 10).
   
• Experience with containers (Docker) and cloud basics (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
   
• Exposure to CI tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).
   
• Familiarity with vulnerability scanning or monitoring tools (e.g., Snyk, Nessus, OWASP ZAP).
   
• Previous startup, open-source, or security competition (CTF) experience.
