Role
Who you are
- BS or MS degree in-progress in computer science/engineering or related technical field
- Proficiency in at least one higher-level programming language (e.g., Python, Ruby, Go)
- Solid foundation in data structures and algorithms. Knowledge or interest in distributed systems and/or operating systems engineering
- Coursework or experience building and deploying webservices backed by relational databases
- Experience with Kubernetes and related cloud native orchestration and deployment tools is a bonus, but not required
- Coursework or experience with network and security is a bonus, but not required
What the job involves
- As an Engineering Intern, you will have an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in school to a real-world application of distributed systems engineering, working on a distributed system that is deployed in our SaaS, inside customer’s datacenters, and across geographic boundaries
- We are looking for a motivated and passionate intern to join the platform team where you will help refactor, implement and deploy the next generation distributed platform for Illumio Core
- After learning the basics, you will be paired with a buddy and mentor, and own the entire lifecycle of a feature
- You will design and deliver an elegant, simple, scalable, stable, secure, and supportable solution. Illumio protects the critical infrastructure of large enterprises – it must work
- We use Ruby primarily, with PostgreSQL and Redis in the data layer
- You will use Kubernetes and multiple cloud platforms. We welcome people with backgrounds in other languages and technology stacks along with a desire to learn
Our take
Cybersecurity remains an ongoing battle, with evolving cyberthreats and ever-more determined cybercriminals, and major data breaches such as the SolarWinds hack have the potential to cause widespread disruption. Illumio is taking a different approach to most of the mainstream security companies, with a process called "microsegmentation". This makes it easier to guard companies from security breaches, and contain any breaches that occur.
Detection of viruses is no longer considered sufficient to keep companies and individuals safe. Illumio takes a “zero trust” approach, in which everything is viewed as suspicious, a similar approach to that which is used by the White House. The company operates at the cutting edge of microsegmentation, focusing on protecting cloud datacenters and workloads. With more and more companies moving to the cloud, this approach is crucial.
Illumio also protects endpoints, partnering with big players such as Citrix, Amazon Web Services, and Splunk. A collaboration with Appgate, a Zero Trust secure access company, delivers the industry's first integrated Zero Trust Network Access and Segmentation solution, which can reduce risk across hybrid infrastructure, and proves Illumio's dedication to innovating the space. Additionally, the company announced a Federal Risk and Authorisation Management Program (FedRAMP), which is tailored to assist federal agencies in reducing risk.
