Eligibility Requirements:

• This internship is remote, but candidates must reside within the United States during the program.
• Applicants must be currently enrolled as undergraduate or graduate students in a degree-granting program at an accredited college or university.
• A minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is required.
• Candidates must be available to work full time (40 hours per week) for the duration of the program, from June 1 through August 21.
• Final selection is contingent upon successful completion of a pre-employment background check.

Role Overview:

As a Summer Intern, you'll get hands-on experience with how security really works in a modern DevSecOps environment-not just in theory, but in practice. You'll learn how teams manage and prioritize vulnerabilities, how to cut through alert noise to focus on real risk, and how AI can help make smarter security decisions. You'll experiment with agentic AI and LLMs, build practical prototypes, and gain a solid understanding of AWS cloud security along the way. You'll also work closely with experienced engineers to see how vulnerabilities are evaluated and fixed in real systems. By the end of the summer, you'll have practical skills, real impact, and a clear picture of how AI and security come together in the real world.

Working closely with the department, the Intern will be responsible for the following tasks:

• Build a Proof of Concept (POC) for AI-driven vulnerability triage and prioritization
• Design an agentic AI workflow that:
  • Ingests vulnerability findings from security tools (code and infrastructure)
  • Analyzes severity, context, and asset criticality
  • Produces a risk-based prioritized view of vulnerabilities
• Correlate vulnerability data with:
  • Environment context (e.g., production vs non-production)
  • Cloud asset importance
  • Known security risk indicators
• Generate clear, human-readable explanations for why vulnerabilities are prioritized
• Collaborate with DevSecOps and security teams to validate results
• Document architecture, design decisions, and findings
• Present a demo and final report at the end of the internship

Major Initiatives:

• Contribute to the Intern Capstone Project

Qualifications & Skills:

• Currently pursuing a degree in:
  • Computer Science
  • Cybersecurity
  • Engineering
  • Data Science or a related field
• Strong interest and hands-on exposure to AI systems and LLM-based tools
• Experience using or building with:
  • Large Language Models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source LLMs)
  • AI frameworks or SDKs (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, similar agent frameworks)
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python strongly preferred)
• Ability to quickly learn new tools and experiment with emerging AI technologies
• Strong problem-solving skills and clear communication

Preferred Qualifications & Skills:

• Coursework or projects involving:
  • AI/ML or LLMs
  • Data analysis or automation
• Understanding of responsible AI practices, including:
  • Guardrails and validation
  • Human-in-the-loop workflows
• Familiarity with vulnerability concepts (e.g., CVEs, severity scoring)
• Experience with security tools, logs, or scan results (academic or personal projects are fine)
• Exposure to:
  • Cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
  • DevOps or DevSecOps practices
