Software Development Intern

Based in San Francisco, San Francisco InfoSec also trains client staff and runs simulated phishing campaigns. We started in 2019 and have grown to about 70 people. We write internal post-mortems after every major engagement, including what went wrong.

The internship

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our San Francisco team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 3 hours of overlap with US Pacific time. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.
