- Remote, United States
- Full Time
Position Summary:
We are seeking a Cybersecurity & AI/Data Governance Intern to bridge the gap between security compliance and engineering. In this role you will assist in the design, audit, and implement technical guardrails that protect our infrastructure and govern our data and AI systems.
This position is ideal for an engineer who understands full-stack architectures, infrastructure-as-code, and systems administration, and wants to apply those skills to modern security engineering, Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and secure AI deployment.
By the conclusion of this internship, you will progress beyond basic compliance tasks and actively contribute to the development of solutions addressing enterprise security and AI needs. Through your work, you will gain practical experience in implementing automated identity lifecycle management, conducting security audits for both cloud and on-premises infrastructures, and establishing data governance policies that enable the secure expansion of AI initiatives.
Profile: Cybersecurity & AI / Data Governance Intern
Department: Information Security
Schedule: Full Time
ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
Identity Governance & Secure Architecture
- Audit and refine RBAC permissions across all platforms.
- Integrate and modernize Identity Providers using OIDC/SAML for secure access.
- Develop secure, reusable infrastructure templates with Terraform, Ansible, or AWS CDK to meet compliance standards.
Systems Security & Infrastructure Integrity
- Harden enterprise Linux and containerized environments.
- Configure firewall, VLANs, and network protocols to segment development, production, and HPC environments.
- Monitor logs and patch systems to address vulnerabilities.
AI & Data Governance Frameworks
- Define data workflows and ensure privacy and retention in data pipelines (LDAP/ZFS).
- Set security controls for Vision-Language Models and vector searches to prevent unauthorized data/model access.
- Oversee GPU resources and enforce usage policies to support compliance.
Preferred Technical Experience
- Languages: Python, TypeScript, Java/Kotlin, or C/C++.
- Identity & Networking: Understanding of OIDC, SAML, LDAP, TCP/IP, DNS, and Firewalls.
- Infrastructure & DevOps: Practical experience with Linux systems administration (RHEL preferred), virtualization/containers (Docker, Kubernetes, Proxmox), and CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions, Ansible, Terraform).
- Database & Storage: Familiarity with caching layers (Redis/Valkey), structured/unstructured databases (SQL, MongoDB), and redundant storage file systems (ZFS).
Compensation Range:
$0.01 - $0.00
This range offers an estimate based on the minimum job qualifications. However, our approach to determining base pay is comprehensive, and a broad range of factors is considered when making an offer. This includes education, experience, skills, and certifications/licensures as they directly relate to position requirements; as well as business/organizational needs, internal equity, and market-competitiveness. In addition, BMCHS offers generous total compensation that includes, but is not limited to, benefits (medical, dental, vision, pharmacy), discretionary annual bonuses and merit increases, Flexible Spending Accounts, 403(b) savings matches, paid time off, career advancement opportunities, and resources to support employee and family well-being.
NOTE: This range is based on Boston-area data, and is subject to modification based on geographic location.

Get Access To All JobsCybersecurity Engineer CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Cybersecurity Engineer role qualify for CPT authorization?
Yes, if the work directly integrates with your enrolled coursework in information security, computer science, or a related field. Your DSO evaluates the specific job duties, not just the title. Roles focused on network defense, penetration testing, security operations, or risk analysis typically satisfy the integral-curriculum requirement when your program includes coursework in those areas.
Can I do CPT at a federal agency or defense contractor as a Cybersecurity Engineer?
You can do CPT at a federal agency or contractor, but many positions in those environments require a security clearance that F-1 students are not eligible to obtain. Always confirm clearance requirements before applying. Unclassified contractor roles and private-sector cybersecurity positions are more accessible and make up the majority of CPT placements in this field.
How do I find Cybersecurity Engineer employers who understand CPT work authorization?
Migrate Mate filters employers by sponsorship history, so you can identify companies that have already worked with international students rather than spending applications on employers unfamiliar with CPT or F-1 authorization. Technology firms, financial institutions, and large healthcare systems are common CPT employers in cybersecurity because they have established HR infrastructure for work authorization.
Does full-time CPT affect my OPT eligibility after graduation?
Twelve months or more of full-time CPT exhausts your OPT eligibility entirely, so you would have no OPT available after graduation. Part-time CPT, defined as 20 hours per week or fewer, does not count against OPT. If you're planning a 12-month CPT engagement as a Cybersecurity Engineer, discuss the OPT impact with your DSO before accepting the offer.
What job duties should appear in my CPT offer letter for a Cybersecurity Engineer role?
Your offer letter should describe specific technical responsibilities that map to your coursework, such as conducting vulnerability assessments, implementing security controls, analyzing threat intelligence, or supporting incident response workflows. Generic titles without duty descriptions are often rejected by DSOs. Ask your employer to include the tools, systems, and methodologies you'll work with so the academic connection is explicit.
