Intern - Cybersecurity Threat Defense; Summer

Alaska Airlines

Interns at Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines & Horizon Air join teams throughout different departments and work on visible projects that impact our guests and business. Beyond hands‑on experience, interns also get the opportunity to network with fellow employees and company leaders through various intern events and programming. Our interns also receive unlimited standby travel benefits during their internship, which means that many weekends are filled with jet setting across our growing network.

This internship is for summer 2027. Our internships are full‑time for 12 weeks, and we offer two program timelines to align with different academic calendars.

This internship will be located in Sea Tac, WA. If not already in the internship city, candidates will be required to relocate for the duration of the internship.

This internship is designed solely to provide you with skill development and valuable work experience.
