Information Security Apprentice Engineer

LinkedIn, the world's largest professional network, is offering an exciting opportunity through their REACH apprenticeship program for aspiring Information Security Engineers. This unique program is designed for individuals from non-traditional backgrounds who are passionate about launching a career in cybersecurity.

The REACH program is a multi-year apprenticeship (1-5 years) that provides hands-on experience in technical roles, specifically tailored for those transitioning into engineering careers. Whether you're self-taught, returning to the workforce, switching careers, or have completed programming bootcamps, this program offers a structured path into information security engineering.

As an Information Security Apprentice Engineer, you'll be integrated into LinkedIn's security teams, working on real-world information security challenges. The role combines practical experience with dedicated learning time, allowing you to develop crucial skills in areas such as incident response, security operations, and detection engineering. You'll work alongside experienced engineers who will mentor you in understanding enterprise security architecture, threat detection, and implementing scalable security solutions.

The position offers competitive compensation ($82,000-$109,000/year) and benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance. The hybrid work environment provides flexibility while maintaining opportunities for in-person collaboration and learning. LinkedIn's commitment to creating economic opportunity extends to their own workforce, making this an ideal starting point for building a career in information security.

This role is perfect for candidates who have completed a Year Up Internship at LinkedIn and have demonstrated interest in security through activities like CTF events, bug bounty programs, or personal projects. The position requires basic technical skills, including scripting abilities and understanding of security concepts, but emphasizes potential and passion for growth in the field.
