You'll work closely with a program manager, project managers, and technical teams to shape how networks, servers, databases, applications, and workstations come together, helping ensure our work is not only smart, but clear, relevant, and actionable. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of IT infrastructure, network architecture, and OT security, brings strong judgment to complex problems, and wants to contribute to work that shapes real-world decisions in the energy industry. In this role, you will: * Assess current network design, including routers, switches, firewalls, wireless systems, segmentation, and monitoring tools, and recommend changes * Review architecture documentation remotely, and provide onsite support to gather network topology information for systems that can't be accessed remotely * Identify critical gaps, legacy systems, and technical debt across business and technical environments, and recommend improvements * Translate business and technical requirements into architectural blueprints, and document all solution architecture design and analysis work * Support the design and implementation of technical and infrastructure systems for cybersecurity and OT network projects * Implement network routes that allow monitoring tools to communicate between sites * Support the deployment and integration of physical and virtual servers, databases, and workstations, from configuration through operational readiness * Coordinate with network, server, database, security, application, and operations teams to make sure every part of the solution is properly integrated * Troubleshoot connectivity, routing, access, and performance issues across new, existing, and legacy systems, including systems no longer supported by the original manufacturer * Develop and maintain architecture diagrams, network drawings, implementation plans, and operational and support documentation * Provide onsite or remote support during testing, cutover, stabilization, and handoff to operations teams You're likely a great fit if you: * Have a strong general understanding of both modern and legacy technology stacks * Can troubleshoot across interconnected network, server, application, database, and security environments * Turn business and technical requirements into infrastructure solutions that can be implemented * Communicate clearly, in writing and in conversation, with project managers, technical and cybersecurity teams, vendors, and business stakeholders * Work well as part of a project team led by a program or project manager, Remote or Hybrid 19-19 Hourly Internship 19-19 Hourly Internship Cloud * Fintech * Software * Business Intelligence * Consulting * Financial Services Cybersecurity interns support SOC operations by monitoring SIEM and EDR alerts, triaging and investigating threats, analyzing security logs, assisting incident response and phishing analysis, researching vulnerabilities, and maintaining playbooks and documentation. They collaborate with cybersecurity professionals on client-facing deliverables while developing practical experience in threat detection, security operations, and incident response.
