AI-First Security & IT Intern — Part-Time

Eight Sleep, Inc.; New York (NY); On-site; USD 25,000 - 30,000; Part time

Job summary

Eight Sleep, Inc. is seeking a hands-on security and IT internship to join the Security team. This part‑time role (20 hours/week) works with the Head of Security and a Security Engineer, owning bounded projects end to end, shipping them, and demoing results to the engineering org.

You will gain experience in Google Workspace administration, identity management, and compliance automation, with mentorship and a path toward real impact within a high‑growth hardware/software company.

Qualifications

• AI-first mindset. We empower the team with the best tools available to scale beyond themselves.
• Junior or Senior at a US college or university, in computer science or a related program.
• Scripting ability in Python or similar. You have written something that calls an API and does a job for you.
• Working knowledge of how identity works in a company: SSO, MFA, directory groups, least privilege.
• One concrete thing you have administered or secured: a club's Google Workspace, a home lab, a campus help desk, a CTF team's infrastructure, a part‑time IT job.
• Clear security writing: send us something you wrote (a lab writeup, a README, a blog post, a how‑to).
• Available 20 hours a week during the school year, with at least 4 hours of overlap with US business hours on 3 or more days. Authorized to work in the US; this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Responsibilities

• Google Workspace administration, device management, and the SaaS access lifecycle — onboarding, offboarding, and access reviews that hold up in an audit.
• Run the access-review and device-compliance checks, then automate the parts you find yourself repeating.
• Keep compliance green with code: help remediate failing Vanta tests and automate evidence collection.
• Triage inbound security and IT requests from employees for one shift a week, with a mentor reviewing every response.
• Write runbooks and triage notes that an engineer, or an AI agent, can leverage.
• Use AI tools (Claude Code and similar) as a first resort to scale your own work, and push those workflows toward fully automated production jobs.
