What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer Intern position at Securest?
Securest is a compliance tech startup building products that automate the security execution work that B2B SaaS companies need to close enterprise deals. We have active clients, real revenue, and a product roadmap we're actively shipping. You'll work directly with the founders, side by side, on features that go live to real clients.
This is not a ticket-closing internship. You'll own features, make architectural decisions, and build things that matter.
