Cybersecurity Intern

About us:

Help desk calls are answered from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with an on-call tech covering nights and weekends. Typical projects include office moves, server migrations to Azure, and replacing aging switches and access points. After-hours on-call comes around every fourth week.

Overview:

This is a blue team internship first. Most days involve reviewing alerts, checking configurations and writing up findings. Our headquarters is in Melbourne, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. You will intern remotely with our team in Melbourne. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours overlap with Sydney business hours until mid-afternoon.
