Nelnet is seeking an intern to join our Security Analysts team, where you will engage in meaningful work that directly impacts our business. As a student loan servicer and technology company, we pride ourselves on being more than just a financial institution; we are innovators and educators. In this role, you will work closely with various business lines and our IT shared services team to determine, implement, and define security measures and processes necessary to protect our organization. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in security analysis while receiving one-on-one mentorship and participating in intern-specific programming. Your responsibilities will include performing application and environment security testing, conducting automated static and dynamic code analysis, and developing internal automation and integrations with security services. You will collaborate with development teams to enhance application security through training, code reviews, and the promotion of best practices. Additionally, you will be expected to stay updated on the latest security trends, administer necessary security products, and interface with both the business and user community to understand their security needs. This role requires a solid understanding of security policies, standards, and regulations, as well as the ability to review and implement security software and procedures. As an intern, you will also be encouraged to explore and pursue technical skills outside of your current job family, challenge prevailing assumptions, and bring forward technology options that provide long-term business value. You will be expected to adapt to changing technology and business landscapes, use analytical and creative thinking to solve problems, and foster an environment of collaboration and teamwork. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will need to effectively share ideas and information with various stakeholders. This internship is an excellent opportunity for those pursuing a degree in an IT-related field and looking to gain practical experience in the security domain.
