Browser Security Engineer Intern; Fall

Salary Range

This role pays between $60,000 and $80,000 (annualized, prorated to your ~4-month placement). The range reflects experience level from first‑internship students to seasoned masters students.

As a research intern, your ideas will be built and shipped by Geo Comply engineers.

Validate your ideas against real customer data so that proposed signals catch bots the current system misses without flagging real users.

Hand your best signals to the engineering team in a form they can build and ship.

Take on stretch opportunities: special, high‑value projects outside the immediate scope of your role, to explore new skills and adapt to challenges across the business.

A Master’s or PhD‑level computer science student or recent graduate, or someone with equivalent depth.

• A real programmer with research instincts – you’ve tackled problems where the answer wasn’t known in advance.

An understanding of bleeding‑edge bot detection and fraud strategies, and a desire to learn more.

Independent and relentlessly curious – you thrive on dissecting how things work instead of waiting for direction.

This role is:

• Original research, not just implementation – you generate ideas and prove them; engineers build them.
• Deeply independent – you set your own research direction and drive it.
• Genuinely hard – a frontier problem with no answer key, built for those who want to disrupt how things work.
• High potential for a return offer and full‑time role if your signal measurably extends detection.

This role isn’t:

A general software‑engineering internship or a role with a fixed checklist to execute.

A fit if you wait to be told what to do or lose interest when a problem is wide open.

A slow ramp – you’re expected to grasp the codebase and start contributing real ideas within your first few weeks, not months.

• Prior research in bot detection, anti‑fraud, anti‑spoofing, or adversarial ML.
• Published or presented original technical research.

• Real ownership of original research on Geo Comply’s fraud & detection frontier, evaluated by the leaders of the field.
• A rare chance for a student to ship fundamental CS research and get paid.
• A genuine path to a full‑time offer if your output is strong.
• Room for growth: impact on team and organization, plus skill development, network, and career advancement.
