About this role
Description
We are seeking a motivated, talented college senior or a first-year master’s student to join our team. Unlike typical internships that focus solely on ticket closing, this role focuses on proactive IT operations. While you will assist with help desk and device setup, your primary focus will be on improving the configuration, automation, and security posture of our Microsoft and Google environments.
This is not a summer-only position. It is a long-term, paid internship designed to transition you from academia to a professional career in IT or Cybersecurity. You will work alongside experienced professionals in a collaborative environment, using real-world tools to protect organizational data.
Key Responsibilities
Security Monitoring: Design and implement monitoring tools using Microsoft technologies, DAX, and Python to identify security concerns proactively.
Environment Configuration: Audit and improve security settings within Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 tenants.
Data Visualization: Develop dashboards (Power BI) and reports to visualize security metrics, trends, and anomalies.
IT Support: Provide Tier 1 help desk support for internal users, including hardware/software troubleshooting and first-time device setup for new hires.
Documentation: Document processes, tools, and security monitoring workflows to build a lasting knowledge base.
Skill Development: Engage in self-driven learning to enhance skills in cybersecurity, scripting (Python/PowerShell), and automation.
Requirements
- Education: Currently enrolled as a Senior in an undergraduate program OR First-Year Master’s student in Information Systems, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field. Juniors with work experience or certifications will also be considered.
- Availability: Must be able to work 16–20 hours a week on-site in Springville, Utah.
- Technical Basics: Basic ability to troubleshoot IT issues (Windows/Mac) and a strong understanding of programming concepts.
- Python: Functional understanding of Python with a willingness to learn more for automation purposes.
- Soft Skills: Self-motivated to solve undefined problems; a team player who communicates clearly.
- Preferred Skills (Bonus Points)
- Familiarity with data modeling languages (DAX) or Power BI.
- Experience with scripting for automation (Python, PowerShell, or Google Apps Script).
- Familiarity with Microsoft Security tools (Defender, Sentinel) or Google Admin Console.
- Strong interest in pursuing security certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+, SSCP, CISSP).
What We Offer
- Real Career Pathway: A 12–18 month engagement with a strong possibility of a full-time job offer upon graduation.
- Mentorship: Direct guidance from experienced Data and IT professionals.
- Impact: The opportunity to build tools and scripts that will actually be used to secure the organization.
- Flexibility: A schedule that accommodates your university classes.
