Descrizione del lavoro

Batch: 2025/2026/2027. About the role:

Join Harness as a Security Research Intern and develop your expertise in identifying, analyzing, and documenting security vulnerabilities across systems and applications.

You will engage in hands‑on security research, contribute to threat assessment efforts, and help strengthen our security posture through systematic investigation and documentation of findings.

The role offers exposure to modern security research methodologies, tools, and real-world vulnerability discovery processes.

What we're looking for:

• Early-career candidates who have built demonstrable skills in security research and can show evidence of prior work in the field.
• Portfolio work demonstrating your capabilities: this may include security write-ups, custom tools you've built, bug reports you've filed, CVE disclosures you've contributed to, Capture The Flag (CTF) competition results, adversarial AI red teaming exercises, or published research on your blog.
• When applying, you must submit links to your work—such as your GitHub profile, personal blog, formal research documentation, security tools you've created, bug bounty platform profiles, or CTF competition profiles.
• Applications submitted without supporting links and evidence of your work cannot be properly evaluated and assessed.

Why this matters:

Security research is critical to building trustworthy software; your contributions will directly impact how we identify and mitigate risk.

Note: Applicants must provide links to their work (GitHub, blogs, research write-ups, tools, bug bounty profiles, or CTF profiles) for full evaluation.
