ROLE:

The Cybersecurity Intern will work alongside FloSports' Application Security Engineer and Cybersecurity Analyst on day-to-day security work. The role is designed for someone early in their career who wants real exposure to a working cybersecurity program — identity, cloud security, endpoint protection, audits, and security tooling. Based in the Waterloo office, hybrid with a minimum of 3 days in-office. Reports to the IT Manager.

We'll match work to your skill level and stretch you as you grow.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Assist the cybersecurity team with day-to-day work across identity, cloud, and endpoint security.

• Help investigate security findings and contribute to remediation plans.

• Support ongoing audit and compliance efforts — evidence gathering, documentation, follow-ups.

• Maintain documentation for security tools, processes, and policies.

• Take ownership of small, well-scoped projects to build portfolio-worthy work.

• Document what you learn so it benefits future team members.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES:

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program in computer science, cybersecurity, information systems, or related field.

• Self-sufficient — can take a task, figure out what's needed, and ship it without daily hand-holding.

• Foundational understanding of security concepts: CIA triad, common vulnerability classes, basic networking.

• Comfort with at least one scripting language (Python, JavaScript, or bash).

• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts, ideally AWS.

• Identity & access management basics.

• Strong written communication — most of your impact will live in tickets, runbooks, and documentation.

• Curiosity and willingness to push back. We don't want a quiet intern.

• Available to work from our Waterloo office a minimum of 3 days per week.

BONUS POINTS:

• Coursework or self-study in cloud security, AWS Cloud Practitioner, or Security+ in progress.

• Familiarity with Confluence, Jira, or other documentation tools.

• Experience with any IDP (Okta, Entra, Google).

• CTF participation, home lab, or other "you built something because you wanted to" evidence.

• Paid Internship - $22 CAD per hour

• 20 - 30 hours per week

• In office requirement at Waterloo, ON location
