By bringing thousands of events and communities onto one platform, Flo creates scale where none previously existed, connecting passionate fans with the sports they love while giving athletes, organizers, and rights holders the tools to reach and engage a global audience.

Flo streams more than 50,000 live events annually across sports, including motorsports, wrestling, hockey, track & field, cheer, jiu-jitsu, NCAA Division II and III athletics, and more. We’re looking for people who are passionate about sports, embody accountability, collaboration, curiosity, positivity, grit, and excellence, and are motivated to help grow and elevate the communities we serve.

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
