Requirements

Graduating by May 2026 with a BS/MS in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cyber-security, or a related field - OR - completion of a rigorous bootcamp with demonstrated security or systems coursework
Available onsite in Fort Worth, TX Monday-Friday during the 8-week cohort, and full-time after
Foundational understanding of the CIA triad, OWASP Top 10, and common vulnerability classes - not just terminology, but the ability to explain why a misconfigured IAM policy or exposed secret creates real risk
Basic IAM literacy - you can explain the difference between authentication and authorization, what a role vs. a policy is, and why least-privilege matters
At least one scripting language at a functional level (Python or Bash) - not just “familiarity,” but the ability to write a simple script to parse logs or automate a check
Git/version control fluency - branching, PRs, and commit history review are part of the IaC security workflow
Linux/Unix command-line comfort - file permissions, process inspection, log tailing; security work happens at the command line

Nice To Haves

AWS security exposure (GuardDuty, Security Hub, IAM policies in practice) - even coursework or free-tier labs count
SIEM tool experience - Datadog, Splunk, CloudWatch Logs Insights, or similar
SAST, DAST, or container scanning exposure

Security certifications in progress or completed (CompTIA Security+, AWS Security Specialty, CEH)

Run vulnerability scans, categorize findings, and track remediation status in the team’s ticketing system

Support CI/CD pipeline security - adding SAST checks and secret scanning steps (GitHub Advanced Security, Trivy) as directed
Participate in incident response post-mortems as a contributor and note-taker, building toward running investigations independently
Shadow senior engineers on IAM policy reviews, cloud security control implementation, and threat modeling sessions
