About The Role:

This is a full-time, onsite summer internship running from June 15th to September 15th.

We're looking for a motivated summer intern to join our Threat Intelligence team. The work has two tracks: building AI agents that autonomously detect and analyze cyber threats, and researching how threat actors might attack, manipulate, or evade those very agents. This is a hands-on opportunity to work at the intersection of offensive and defensive AI in a real security environment.

In this role, you will:

Building AI Agents for Threat Detection:

Design and implement AI agents capable of autonomously identifying and analyzing cyber threats.
Develop scripts to extract, filter, and classify malicious content and suspicious indicators.
Collaborate with the team to define detection logic and integrate sandbox/VM-based analysis.
Support evaluation and integration of AI models for content classification and anomaly detection.

Researching AI Agent Security:

Investigate adversarial techniques that could be used to deceive, manipulate, or bypass AI-based detection.
Prototype countermeasures and defensive strategies to harden AI agents against attack.
Study emerging threat vectors that specifically target AI systems (prompt injection, data poisoning, model evasion).

Shared:

Document findings, workflows, and contribute to internal knowledge sharing.

What You'll Gain:

Hands-on experience building AI agents designed to detect and disrupt real cyber threats.
Exposure to adversarial AI — understanding how attackers target AI systems and how to defend them.
Mentorship from professionals working across cybersecurity and AI.
A chance to contribute to a project that may evolve into a production-grade tool.

About You:

Basic proficiency in Python (scripting, API interaction, data parsing).
Foundational understanding of virtual machines or sandbox environments.
Introductory knowledge of AI/ML models and their practical applications.
Interest in AI security — both using AI as a weapon against threats and defending AI systems from attack.
Strong analytical thinking and eagerness to learn.

What’s Next:

The hiring process consists of one onsite interview, where you will have the opportunity to meet Michal Salát, the hiring manager.
