About the Job
Who we are
We're Redis. We built the product that runs the fast apps our world runs on. (If you checked the weather, used your credit card, or looked at your flight status online today, you're welcome.) At Redis, you'll work with the fastest, simplest technology in the business—whether you're building it, telling its story, or selling it to our 10,000+ worldwide customers. We're creating a faster world with simpler experiences. You in?
Why this job would be a great fit for you:
You are a hardworking, talented student who moonlights as a tinkerer, hacker, artist, musician, or coder. You are fascinated by how systems work, and even more fascinated by how they can be manipulated to do things their designers did not anticipate. You have diverse interests, but want to learn more about the technical weaknesses that lead to security vulnerabilities and the human incentive structures that precipitate them.
If any of these sound like you, let's talk. We are Redis, the software company behind the open source project and super high-performance database. Redis powers the world's most demanding real-time data applications, from popular AI applications to gaming leaderboards to mobile banking and crypto platforms. Security and reliability are key attributes of our software and cloud platform, and crucial to the success of our business
What you'll do:
Our Cybersecurity Summer Internship program aims to give undergraduate students hands-on exposure to one of the most fascinating and technically challenging aspects of technology: securing it. You will work with a seasoned team of security experts and mentors with backgrounds in cyber offense, defense, and security engineering, and previous roles at organizations like Elastic, Lockheed Martin, and the NSA.
We believe that a successful internship should be both a learning experience for the intern and produce a tangible positive result for Redis. Therefore, we look to match specific interns with specific projects we believe can be accomplished within the 10-week internship, based on the candidate's specific skills, interests, and the needs of our team. Some potential projects include:
- Researching emerging hacking techniques and evaluating our defenses against them
- Building automations and integrations that help us speed up manual tasks
- Hunting for security flaws and control failures within our environments
- Helping to design and run an incident response tabletop exercise
Internship Details:
- Summer internships run 10 weeks total, with a week of onboarding, 8 weeks of focused work, and one week to brief out accomplishments.
- Interns are compensated at $40/hour for a 40 hour week
- Our team is fully remote and internships are designed to be fully remote. However, you are welcome to work out of one of our offices in Austin, San Francisco, London, or Tel Aviv if you are within commuting distance.
