Job Description:

Do you love working with computers? Are you vigilant in your pursuit to neutralize and eliminate tech threats? Are you someone who has never met a computer bug they couldn't vanquish? We have the perfect opportunity for you.

InterWorks is currently looking for a highly motivated individual to join our ranks. We need someone who's ready to be an indispensable part of our team as we fight the good fight of information security. We want someone who soaks up knowledge like a sponge and is exhilarated by the prospect of day-to-day tasks that always keep them on the edge of their seats. As no two days are the same, it's crucial that we have someone proactive in communication, confident in their abilities and flexible in changing contexts.

This is a paid internship with the option for students to pursue academic credit depending on their department.
