Intern - Security Engineer

The Opportunity

The Cyber Operations team is responsible for the most critical security platforms that help protect Adobe at global scale. We operate and evolve the technologies that enable vulnerability management, endpoint security, and security analytics across hundreds of thousands of systems. Our mission is to ensure Adobe's security tooling remains effective, scalable, and capable of helping defenders make informed decisions in a constantly evolving threat landscape.

As an intern, you'll have an opportunity to work at the intersection of cybersecurity, data, automation, and AI! Rather than being limited to operational tasks or classroom-style projects, you'll work on meaningful problems using real security data and enterprise-scale technologies. You'll be exposed to how a world-class security organization collects and acts on information from major security platforms. You will contribute to finding opportunities to improve efficiency, visibility, and meaningfully reduce security risks.

All 2027 Adobe interns will be co-located hybrid. This means that interns will work between their assigned office and home. Interns will be based in the office where their manager and/or team are located, where they will get the most support to ensure collaboration and the best employee experience. Managers and their organization will determine the frequency they need to go into the office to meet priorities.

What You’ll Do

• Explore and analyze large-scale security datasets to uncover meaningful insights.
• Learn how enterprise security technologies help defend Adobe's global environment.
• Build tools, automations, and visualizations that solve real operational challenges.
