Eightsleep Security & IT Intern at Eight Sleep working part-time with the Security team on security, compliance, and IT projects. Own bounded projects end to end and demo them to the engineering org.
Responsibilities
This is a hands-on corporate security and IT internship working with the Security team that also manages security, compliance and IT for the company. You will work directly with the Head of Security and the Security Engineer. It is part time, 20 hours a week around your class schedule, and you will own bounded projects end to end, ship them, and demo them to the engineering org.
How you’ll contribute
Google Workspace administration, device management, and the SaaS access lifecycle — onboarding, offboarding, and access reviews that hold up in an audit.
Run the access-review and device-compliance checks, then automate the parts you find yourself repeating.
Keep compliance green with code: help remediate failing Vanta tests and automate evidence collection.
Triage inbound security and IT requests from employees for one shift a week, with a mentor reviewing every response.
Write runbooks and triage notes that an engineer, or an AI agent, can leverage.
Use AI tools (Claude Code and similar) as a first resort to scale your own work, and push those workflows toward fully automated production jobs.
