Security is only as strong as the systems behind it. Come build the backbone of ours.

At Resilient Privacy, the backend isn't a support act - it's where the real intelligence lives. KANSHI ingests threat data, runs analysis pipelines, and surfaces actionable alerts to security teams at MSPs across the country. You'll be in the engine room, writing systems that need to be correct, fast, and resilient under pressure. Sound familiar?

What You'll Be Building

Async services and pipelines in Python and Rust that handle real security event data

Database schemas and queries that perform - SQL design with an eye toward scale

APIs that our React frontend depends on - you'll feel it immediately if something breaks

Tests. Not as an afterthought. From the beginning. We believe in them.

Git-based workflows that mirror what professional engineering teams actually do

Skills We're Looking For

Strong grasp of async programming - you understand why it matters and when it bites back

Python fluency; Rust experience or genuine curiosity about it

SQL fundamentals: schema design, indexes, queries that don't make a DBA cry

Software testing principles - unit, integration, what to mock and what not to

Git as a tool for collaboration, not just saving files

Why This Internship Is Different

You'll work directly with the Founding CTO - not a junior engineer managing interns

Your code will touch production infrastructure for an active cybersecurity SaaS product

You'll learn what it means to build secure-by-default systems from engineers who live it

Exposure to threat intelligence pipelines, automotive cybersecurity contexts, and AI/ML integration

Flexible scope - if you're exceptional, we expand your responsibilities

Compensation & Commitment

Unpaid - we're a seed-stage startup and transparency matters to us

Equity conversation possible for interns who return or convert full-time

Letter of recommendation for strong performers - we'll write one worth reading

Flexible hours; fully remote with optional Dallas meetups

The best backend engineers learn by working on real systems under real constraints. This is that.
