Security Engineering Intern (Spring 2027)

Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer. Across England, the company runs 14 branch offices and a central depot for hardware staging and imaging.

The internship

Our Application Security team runs vulnerability scans, reviews cloud settings and handles phishing reports. The intern helps with all of it. We are headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne and have been hiring remotely since 2020. You will intern remotely with our team in Newcastle upon Tyne. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need to be available during UK office hours, at least until 3:00 PM GMT. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.
