Ethical Hacking Intern

About us:

We process billions of card transactions a year for merchants, banks and software platforms. Regulatory oversight is constant, and the compliance department is one of the largest in the company. Founded in 1967, we now have 830 employees. Most staff have been with the firm for more than eight years.

Overview:

Remote internship on the Cloud Security team. You will work on our own systems only, with written permission and a clear scope for any testing. Remote position. Most of the team is in Bengaluru, but nobody is required to come in. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

Day to day:

Write clear findings with severity, impact and steps to fix. Update security policies and runbooks in Confluence. Prepare short security awareness posts and quizzes for staff. Research new CVEs that affect our stack and summarise them for the team. Collect evidence for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audit controls.

What we're looking for:

Women wanting to start or restart their career can also apply. Have their own laptop and a reliable internet connection. Are able to join within 15 days.

Bonus points:

Experience with Wireshark, Nmap or Burp Suite. CTF participation or published writeups.

What you get out of it:
