IT Security & Operations Intern

Description

We are seeking a motivated and talented college senior or first-year master's student to join our team. Unlike typical internships that focus solely on ticket closing, this role focuses on proactive IT operations. While you will assist with help desk and device setup, your primary focus will be on improving the configuration, automation, and security posture of our Microsoft and Google environments.

This is not a summer-only position. It is a long-term, paid internship designed to transition you from academia to a professional career in IT or Cybersecurity. You will work alongside experienced professionals in a collaborative environment, using real-world tools to protect organizational data.

Key Responsibilities

• Security Monitoring: Design and implement monitoring tools using Microsoft technologies, DAX, and Python to identify security concerns proactively.
• Environment Configuration: Audit and improve security settings within Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 tenants.
• Data Visualization: Develop dashboards (Power BI) and reports to visualize security metrics, trends, and anomalies.
• IT Support: Provide Tier 1 help desk support for internal users, including hardware/software troubleshooting and first-time device setup for new hires.
• Documentation: Document processes, tools, and security monitoring workflows to build a lasting knowledge base.
• Skill Development: Engage in self-driven learning to enhance skills in cybersecurity, scripting (Python/PowerShell), and automation.
