Offensive Security Intern

About the Role

We are looking for a highly curious and motivated Offensive Security Intern who is eager to gain hands-on experience in modern penetration testing. A key part of this role includes researching and experimenting with the use of AI in offensive security, and explore how artificial intelligence can enhance, automate, or transform penetration testing workflows.

What You’ll Do

• Assist in conducting penetration testing across web, mobile, and network environments
• Explore and test modern attack surfaces including:
• Cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Containerized systems (Docker, Kubernetes)
• APIs and microservices
• AI/ML models and LLM-based applications
• Research and experiment with AI-driven approaches to penetration testing, such as:
• Automating reconnaissance and vulnerability discovery
• Generating and optimizing attack payloads
• Using AI for anomaly detection and exploit development
• Evaluating security risks in AI systems (prompt injection, model leakage, etc.)
• Analyze how attackers may leverage AI and propose defensive or testing strategies
• Support vulnerability assessments and help validate security findings
• Contribute to internal tools, scripts, or automation for security testing

What We’re Looking For

• Strong curiosity and willingness to learn by doing
• Interest in the intersection of AI and cybersecurity
• Basic understanding of networking, operating systems, and web technologies
• Familiarity with common security concepts (OWASP Top 10, authentication flaws, etc.)
• Exposure to tools like Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, or similar (preferred but not required)

Bonus Skills

• Experience experimenting with AI/LLMs (prompting, APIs, or model behavior)
• Participation in CTFs, bug bounty programs, or security research
• Knowledge of cloud security or container security

What You’ll Gain

• Real-world, hands-on penetration testing experience
• Exposure to cutting-edge security challenges in cloud, containers, and AI
• Opportunity to work on AI-assisted offensive security research

• Mentorship from experienced security professionals
