Job description

TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, empowers organizations with full AI visibility and consolidated security that inspires confidence, drives innovation, and eliminates risk. At TrendAI™, we’re always seeking exceptional talent; people who want to collaborate with the best and push boundaries together. Here, your work goes beyond building a career. You will help protect what matters and play a vital role in shaping a safer, more trustworthy AI-powered future. AI Fearlessly.

OUR CULTURE

We hire for capability and potential — not credentials alone. At TrendAI, you get real access: to senior people, to genuinely hard problems, and to work that actually moves things forward. You will have a voice, an opinion, and the freedom to use both and to be the best part of yourself.

JOINING TRENDAI ON ITS AI NATIVE JOURNEY

TrendAI is on a deliberate path to become a fully AI Native company. This means rebuilding how we think, how we build, and how we operate, with AI at the foundation rather than bolted on at the edges. If you join now, you are not walking into something already figured out — you are joining at the moment it is being built. The skills you develop here will make you genuinely formidable in one of the most in-demand areas in tech. The people who join at this stage will have had a hand in shaping what TrendAI becomes. That is a rare thing.

YOUR INTERNSHIP

This is a paid 8-month work placement where you will join TrendAI's Hyperautomation Team or one of our business teams depending on your preference of whether you are more business or tech focused. You will also take part in our Career Success Ready Programme — designed to support you and to set you up for a successful career, not just to get through the placement. We have a strong track record of converting placements into graduate roles. Over the last five years, 82% of our intern graduates have gone on to join us permanently. There may also be opportunities to travel to other European offices and work with colleagues from across the globe — we have 27 different nationalities in our Cork Operations Centre.

We are committed to providing you with a role that not only matches your interests but also challenges you to grow in your chosen field. Based on your strengths and interests, we will tailor your internship experience to align with the areas that make the most sense for you and the business.
