Binary Defense is seeking a Detection Engineer Intern to join our summer internship program. As a Detection Engineer Intern, you will work with Security Operations, Incident Response, and Threat Hunting teams to create new detection logic from multiple data sources. You will also work closely with Threat Intelligence to monitoring the ever evolving threat landscape to drive new detection strategies to protect our clients. 

Interns will have the opportunity to work on practical projects involving reverse-engineering malware, log analysis in Azure Sentinel, Splunk, or other enterprise-grade security tools, software development projects, and threat intelligence research.

At the conclusion of the internship, Detection Engineer interns will be expected to deliver a capstone project showcasing the skills learned during the program to the team and leadership.
