Job Description:

You will collaborate with world-class software engineers to build the next generation of defenses against software supply chain attacks. This internship offers a unique opportunity to translate cutting-edge research ideas into real-world systems that safeguard millions of developers worldwide. You will contribute to the design and implementation of large-scale data collection and analysis pipelines, conduct in-depth investigations of malicious activity in open source ecosystems, and prototype novel techniques for detecting fraud and abuse on platforms such as GitHub. As one of our research interns, you will not only push the boundaries of software supply chain security but also help shape the culture and direction of a fast-growing security company. This role is ideal for PhD students eager to bridge academia and industry and bring innovative research into production environments while gaining hands-on development experience in a high-impact, mission-driven setting.

Job Responsibility:

  • Conduct applied research on emerging threats in the software supply chain (e.g., typosquatting, dependency confusion, malicious maintainers) and translate findings into detection prototypes
  • Design and evaluate novel algorithms for identifying malicious or inauthentic activity across ecosystems such as npm, PyPI, and GitHub
  • Leverage data science and machine learning techniques to model suspicious publishing behaviors, coordinated activity, and fraud campaigns
  • Develop automated research tools to collect, transform, and analyze large-scale datasets from third-party APIs (e.g., npm, GitHub, PyPI)
  • Prototype and validate detection systems that can be integrated into Socket’s threat intelligence platform, bridging research insights with production impact
  • Collaborate with engineers and designers to experiment with new ways of surfacing research findings in user-facing interfaces and developer workflows
  • Publish research outputs internally (dashboards, reports, proofs-of-concept) to influence product strategy and share with the broader community when appropriate
  • Contribute to the early team culture, bringing a research-driven perspective to technical discussions, prioritization, and the company’s long-term vision

Requirements:

  • Enrolled in a postgraduate or PhD program in computer science (or related field)
  • Strong background in one or more of the following: program analysis, data mining, applied machine learning, large-scale systems, or security research
  • Proficiency with languages commonly used for prototyping and research (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or similar)
  • Familiarity with software and systems security concepts, such as threat modeling, malware analysis, or adversarial behavior in open ecosystems
  • Experience conducting research involving data analysis, statistical methods, or experimental evaluation
  • Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills
  • Self-motivated and comfortable driving independent research while collaborating with an interdisciplinary team
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for presenting research findings and collaborating across engineering and design

Nice to have:

  • Static/dynamic analysis of software or binaries
  • Open source security research or published academic work
  • Experience with Socket-supported ecosystems
  • Building scalable data pipelines or visualization dashboards
What we offer:
  • Equity
  • Health insurance
  • Vacation time
  • Holidays
  • Paid parental leave
  • Market competitive salary bands
  • Meaningful equity program
  • Comprehensive health benefits for you and your family
