Cybersecurity Job Description:
We’re seeking a motivated Cybersecurity Intern to join our Security team for a hands-on internship experience. This role offers exposure to AI-specific security challenges, such as protecting machine learning models from adversarial attacks, securing AI infrastructure, and implementing AI-enhanced threat detection. You’ll work alongside experienced cybersecurity professionals and AI engineers on real-world projects that blend cybersecurity with AI/ML techniques. This internship is ideal for students passionate about the intersection of AI and security, providing opportunities to build skills, network, and potentially transition to full-time roles.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist in monitoring and analyzing security alerts, vulnerabilities, and potential threats to AI systems and infrastructure.
  • Support the development and testing of AI/ML models for anomaly detection, predictive threat analytics, and vulnerability scanning.
  • Conduct research on emerging cybersecurity trends, AI-specific risks (e.g., model poisoning, data privacy), and best practices; summarize findings in reports or presentations.
  • Participate in incident response simulations, red teaming exercises, and compliance audits for AI deployments.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement security tools, automate processes, and enhance data protection measures.
  • Contribute to documentation, whitepapers, and internal knowledge bases on cybersecurity topics.
  • Engage in team meetings, brainstorming sessions, and professional development activities to foster innovative solutions.

Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Security, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (must have completed at least 2 years of study).
  • Fundamental knowledge of cybersecurity principles, including encryption, network security, intrusion detection, and risk assessment.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts, such as machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and their applications in security.
  • Proficiency in programming languages like Python, with experience in scripting for automation or data analysis.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills; ability to work independently and in a team environment.
  • Preferred: Hands-on experience with cybersecurity tools (e.g., Wireshark, Nmap), certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+), or participation in CTFs/hackathons. • Bonus: Interest in AI ethics, large language models (LLMs), or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

Opportunities & Benefits (Non-Monetary)

  • Hands-on experience securing AI/ML systems, including model hardening, anomaly detection, predictive threat analytics, and vulnerability scanning
  • Direct mentorship from senior cybersecurity engineers, founders, and AI security specialists
  • Exposure to the full security lifecycle: monitoring, detection, incident response, red teaming, compliance, and hardening AI infrastructure
  • Collaboration with a cross-functional team, including Product Design, Bio, AI/ML Engineering, and Infrastructure
  • Opportunity to build portfolio-ready security projects, including threat models, detection pipelines, and research reports
  • Fast-paced, high-growth startup environment with rapid skill development and technical ownership
  • Consideration for future paid roles, advanced technical tracks, and potential long-term placement as the company scales
  • Recommendation letter upon successful completion of the internship
  • A chance to make a real impact on a product that users interact with every day
