  • Review hands-on cybersecurity lab exercises to ensure they are functioning properly, align with the lab’s learning objectives, and have clear step-by-step instructions.
  • Use version control and collaboration tools (ie., github/bitbucket,wiki,Jira).
  • Strategically leverage AI tools to ethically assist research and testing.

Who you are

  • Enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program.
  • Familiar with cybersecurity fundamentals and concepts.
  • Experience with hands-on lab exercises using virtualization software.
  • You have working experience with collaborative, version control, and development workflows tools such as Bitbucket and Github.
  • You have strong organizational and time management skills and can prioritize multiple responsibilities.
  • You are able to work closely and collaborate with subject-matter experts.
  • You are willing to travel within the SEI and CMU community.

You can pass a background check, obtain and maintain a DoW security clearance, and other customer-required background checks as needed.

Why it works

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
