Description For Infrastructure Security Engineer

Observe Inc. is seeking an Infrastructure Security Engineer Intern to join their growing team in San Mateo, CA. This role presents an exciting opportunity within a fast-paced, cloud-first environment at a company revolutionizing the observability space.

Observe is a cutting-edge SaaS Observability product that helps businesses investigate modern distributed applications 10x faster and at 10x lower costs than incumbents. The company ingests various types of timestamp data (logs, metrics, traces) and structures it for easy correlation and navigation, enabling engineers to focus more on feature development and less on incident investigation.

The role sits at the intersection of infrastructure and security, requiring a blend of technical knowledge and security expertise. As an Infrastructure Security Engineer Intern, you'll be involved in critical security initiatives, from implementing compliance audits to managing AWS security configurations. You'll work with modern cloud architecture while addressing contemporary security challenges in a holistic, end-to-end approach.

Key responsibilities include assisting with security initiatives, managing certificates and secrets, participating in vulnerability management, and joining the infrastructure/security on-call rotation. The ideal candidate should be pursuing or have recently completed a relevant degree, possess basic AWS knowledge, and understand fundamental internet security principles.

Founded by top enterprise VC Sutter Hill Ventures, with a founding team from leading Enterprise SaaS companies like Snowflake, Splunk, and Wavefront, Observe offers a unique opportunity to work with industry veterans. The company values diversity and fosters an inclusive environment where employees from all backgrounds can thrive.

This internship is perfect for someone passionate about security, eager to learn, and ready to contribute to a fast-growing startup. While local candidates are preferred, remote work is possible for the right candidate. Join Observe in their mission to transform business data into actionable information while building a secure foundation for their innovative product.
