- 17 Nov 2026 (28 days left)
Applications close in November 2026, and the start window runs from 17 October to 21 November 2026. You would need to be free for the full 3 months.
What you would be doing as a security intern
The work centres on finding weak spots. You would run security assessments and penetration tests to find vulnerabilities in Qubixo's systems, and you would help build and put in place measures that protect its network and data from cyber threats.
There is also a watching-and-responding side: reading through security logs to spot incidents and react to them. You would work with the IT team so that security best practices are actually followed, and help draft security policies and procedures.
Two smaller duties round it out. You would take part in training and awareness programmes that teach employees about cyber security, and you are expected to keep up with new trends and technologies in the field. The post ties this work to Python, computer networking, Linux, ethical hacking, VAPT and web application security, and says you would work alongside experienced professionals.
Who can apply and what you need to have
The post is aimed at Computer Science Engineering students. It also says women who want to start or restart a career can apply.

How to make your application stronger
- Be ready to talk through a vulnerability you have found or practised on, even in a lab or practice environment. Explain what it was and how you would fix it.
- Brush up on networking basics and Linux command-line work, since both are on the skills list and come up in almost any security conversation.
- Keep a small Python script or two that you can show, such as something that parses logs or checks for a common issue.
- Write down how you would explain a security risk to someone non-technical. The role includes awareness training for employees.
- Look at how web application flaws are usually described and tested, so you can speak about web security with examples rather than definitions.
