About the Role
As a Security Specialist Intern, you will work within the Data Center Security team and play a hands-on role in the day-to-day physical security operations of the company’s data centers. You will collaborate with security vendors, analyze operational data, and help identify improvements to surveillance systems, access controls, and security procedures. This is not a desk-only role.

• Help develop and deliver guidance to data center occupants on reducing false alarms.
• Write reports and create presentations on the status of physical security operations for management.
• Assist with planning and coordinating security-related projects.
• Support incident documentation and follow-up processes.
