Job description

POSITION SUMMARY:

We are seeking a Cybersecurity & AI/Data Governance Intern to bridge the gap between security compliance and engineering. In this role you will assist in the design, audit, and implement technical guardrails that protect our infrastructure and govern our data and AI systems.

By the conclusion of this internship, you will progress beyond basic compliance tasks and actively contribute to the development of solutions addressing enterprise security and AI needs. Through your work, you will gain practical experience in implementing automated identity lifecycle management, conducting security audits for both cloud and on-premises infrastructures, and establishing data governance policies that enable the secure expansion of AI initiatives.
