CPT Product Security Engineer Jobs
Product Security Engineer roles align with CPT when your program includes coursework in application security, threat modeling, or secure software development, and your DSO documents the work as an integral curriculum requirement. Many security engineering internships qualify because the role directly applies graduate-level security concepts in production environments.

Get Access To All JobsProduct Security Engineer CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Security Engineer internship qualify for CPT authorization?
It qualifies if your program includes security-related coursework and the internship duties directly apply those skills. Your DSO looks for evidence that the role is an integral part of your curriculum, not just incidentally related. Roles involving secure code review, vulnerability assessment, or security architecture map clearly to graduate information security and computer science programs.
Can I do CPT as a Product Security Engineer if my degree is in computer science rather than cybersecurity?
Yes. DSOs evaluate whether the job duties connect to your specific coursework, not just your degree title. If your computer science program includes courses in cryptography, operating systems security, or software engineering, those can support CPT authorization for a Product Security Engineer role. Bring your course catalog and the job description to your DSO meeting.
How do I find Product Security Engineer employers who are comfortable hiring CPT students?
Search Migrate Mate to identify companies with a history of sponsoring F-1 students in security engineering roles. Employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for information security positions are already familiar with work authorization requirements and are less likely to withdraw an offer when you explain CPT.
What happens to my CPT authorization if the employer changes my job duties after I start?
CPT is tied to the specific employer and role authorized on your I-20. If your duties shift significantly, such as moving from application security to a general IT support function, your DSO needs to evaluate whether the authorization still holds. Notify your DSO immediately if your responsibilities change materially, and get any job description updates in writing from your employer.
Will working full-time as a Product Security Engineer on CPT affect my OPT eligibility?
Full-time CPT, meaning 20 or more hours per week, used for 12 or more cumulative months across your program eliminates your OPT eligibility entirely. Part-time CPT, under 20 hours per week, has no limit and does not affect OPT. If a Product Security Engineer role is a full-time engagement, track your CPT hours carefully across all employers and semesters.
