Solid CS fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, distributed systems basics).
A deep curiosity about AI/ML and building intelligent systems (prior professional AI/ML experience is not required).
A problem-solving mindset, strong communication skills, and an eagerness to learn in-person.
Bonus Points (We'd Love to See)
Passion for AI demonstrated through personal projects, hackathons, or open-source contributions involving LLMs. (Tell us about what you've built; we'd love to see your GitHub!)
Prior internship experience in a software engineering role.
An interest in the cybersecurity space.

What We Do
Prophet Security delivers the industry’s most comprehensive Agentic AI SOC Platform, purpose‑built to transform how security operations work.
Our platform autonomously triages, investigates, and responds to alerts, eliminating repetitive manual work and enabling teams to focus on what matters most: defending against real threats.
By automating the time‑intensive investigative tasks that bog down analysts, Prophet AI dramatically improves SOC efficiency, accelerates response times, and strengthens an organization’s overall security posture.
The results speak for themselves: reducing investigation times from 30–40 minutes to just 3, eliminating 99% of false positives, and giving security teams back hundreds of hours each month.
With backing from Accel Partners, Bain Capital Ventures, and leading security practitioners, we are on a mission to redefine what’s possible for modern SOCs — making them faster, smarter, and more resilient.
