Able to intern from June 2026 through early September 2026 (12 weeks)
Located within the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate during the internship. Relocation assistance will be provided for students who will need to relocate for the summer
Able to work 40 hours per week (full-time) in a hybrid work model with a minimum of 4 days in office for in person collaboration with our team
Educational Background: Currently pursuing aMaster’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field, with the intent to return to school following the internship for at least one more term
Technical Foundation: A solid understanding of networking (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP) and at least one operating system (Linux or macOS)
Analytical Skills: The ability to parse and analyze logs from multiple sources to identify malicious patterns and security events
Programming Proficiency: Comfort with scripting or automation using Python, SQL, or similar languages
Preferred Experience: Hands-on exposure to SIEM, EDR, or cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and a familiarity with the MITRE ATT&CK framework
Mindset: A deep curiosity about how attackers operate, strong analytical thinking, and a drive to solve real-world security problems at scale

What the job involves

Sigma’s early career program is the launchpad for the next generation of engineers and innovators
As an Intern at Sigma, you’ll work on various Cyber Security domains and learn efficient Security engineering for large scalable systems/environments
Our interns connect directly with our Engineering teams, IT and customer facing teams across the organization everyday
We’re looking for students who bring curiosity, a spirit for collaboration, and a desire for securing the world
As a Security Engineering Graduate Intern, you will join a team dedicated to protecting our cloud and enterprise environments
We are looking for a current graduate student to join our security engineering team for a 12-week internship
This is a hands-on technical role where you’ll work alongside experienced engineers to defend our infrastructure across SaaS, cloud, endpoints, and identity platforms
You will bridge the gap between theoretical security and production-level defense, focusing on Detection Engineering, Incident Response, and Cloud Security Operations
This role is designed for students who are passionate about understanding attacker behavior and building the systems that stop them
Detection & Response: Triage and investigate security alerts from a diverse stack including SIEM, EDR, WAF, and DLP platforms. You’ll help refine these systems by tuning "detections-as-code" to reduce noise and improve signal quality
Threat Hunting: Conduct hypothesis-driven hunts across telemetry data (cloud, identity, and network) to uncover emerging threats that may have bypassed automated defenses
Detection Engineering: Research attacker TTPs and use the MITRE ATT&CK framework to develop and deploy new detection logic
Cloud & SaaS Security: Analyze cloud configurations and IAM policies to identify misconfigurations, support vulnerability remediation, and validate security best practices
Endpoint & Email Defense: Investigate suspicious macOS activity, analyze malicious emails, and support internal phishing simulation programs
