Overview

As part of the GPSU program, we are seeking a Cloud Infrastructure Intern to support GuidePoint Security’s Northeast region.  In this role, you will work with the NE AI and AppSec teams as part of the NE DevSecOps team, contributing to the Security Innovation and Technology Lab (SITL), GuidePoint’s internal multi-cloud research and evaluation environment spanning AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. You will gain hands-on experience building and managing cloud lab infrastructure under mentorship, contributing to real POC and POV engagements for clients.

The SITL enables clients to bypass the cost and complexity of running their own evaluations: GuidePoint conducts them in a controlled, production-representative lab on the client’s behalf. Every environment in the SITL is built and operated through infrastructure as code, automation, and agentic tooling. Experience with IaC tools is required; Currently enrolled, or recently graduated with a degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field is preferred. This role is designed for technically strong learners ready to work on real infrastructure in a demanding, practitioner-led environment. You will also observe limited client-facing engagements under mentorship.
