About the Role
As part of QRT’s Security team, you’ll help protect the systems, data and infrastructure behind our global research and trading activities. You’ll work closely with our Cloud, Infrastructure and Network Operations teams to design and implement security controls across a complex, high-performance technology environment. The team works across security engineering, detection and response, vulnerability management and security assurance. Rather than treating security as a separate layer, we work directly with engineering teams to understand how systems behave, identify weaknesses and build practical ways to prevent, detect and respond to threats. As an intern, you’ll contribute to real security problems and have opportunities to build tooling, investigate emerging attack techniques and improve how we automate security work at scale.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to real security problems.
- Build tooling.
- Investigate emerging attack techniques.
- Improve how we automate security work at scale.
- Use MCP servers to build and improve a triage agent that supports cyber-security investigations.
- Reproduce emerging attack techniques in segregated lab environments and test how effectively our detection systems identify them.
- Contribute to vulnerability research, security reviews and remediation testing, working with security and engineering teams to understand and address weaknesses.
- Build tools and automation that make security assurance more scalable, consistent and effective.
Requirements
- Penultimate or final-year students pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s in a STEM discipline, such as Cyber Security, Informatics, Computing or a related subject, on track for a 2:1 or above.
- Interest in technology, demonstrated through hobbies, personal projects, academic work or open-source contributions.
- Curious, proactive and comfortable asking questions.
- Willing to investigate unfamiliar systems, follow evidence and challenge assumptions when something doesn’t look right.
- Self-motivated, thoughtful and comfortable taking ownership of a problem.
- Apply Online – Submit your application online.
- Selected candidates will complete a technical interview with the relevant team.
- Shortlisted candidates will take part in interviews, either on-site or via Microsoft Teams.
Skills
- Understanding of security principles and technologies such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, vulnerability scanning, password management, encryption and secure coding practices.
- Programming or scripting experience, particularly with Python or Bash.
- Confidence working from the Linux command line, including familiarity with Linux/Unix system administration fundamentals.
- Understanding of networking concepts, including TCP/IP and Ethernet.
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus and PromQL.
