At Eight Sleep, we’re on a mission to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. As the world’s first sleep fitness company, we’re redefining what it means to be well-rested and building the most advanced hardware, software, and AI technology to make it possible. Our products power peak mental, physical, and emotional performance by transforming every night of sleep into a personalized, data-driven recovery experience. We are trusted by high performers, professional athletes, and health-conscious consumers in over 30 countries worldwide. Recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2019, 2022, and 2023, and twice named to TIME's “Best Inventions of the Year.” We operate like a high-performance team: fast, focused, and motivated by impact. We don’t just ship; we iterate, refine, and obsess over the details that help our members sleep better and wake up stronger.
Every role at Eight Sleep is a chance to create cutting-edge technology, collaborate with world-class talent, and help shape a future where sleep isn’t passive - it’s a powerful tool for living better. If you’re tired of the ordinary and driven to build at the edge of what’s possible, this is your moment. Join us and lead the movement that’s transforming how the world sleeps and what we’re all capable of when we wake up.
We operate with intensity because our mission demands it. At Eight Sleep, we bring the same mindset as the world’s top performers: focused, relentless, and always pushing to be in the top 1% of our craft. Think Kobe Bryant’s mamba mentality, applied to bold ideas, next-gen tech, and flawless execution. This isn’t a 9-to-5. Our team is deeply committed, often putting in 60+ hours a week –not because we’re told to, but because we’re invested. We’re here to build fast, push limits, and deliver without compromise. If you thrive under pressure and want to do the most meaningful work of your career, you’ll feel right at home. If you’re looking for something easier –this isn’t it.
This is a hands-on corporate security and IT internship working with the Security team that also manages security, compliance and IT for the company. You will work directly with the Head of Security and the Security Engineer. It is part time, 20 hours a week around your class schedule, and you will own bounded projects end to end, ship them, and demo them to the engineering org.
Google Workspace administration, device management, and the SaaS access lifecycle — onboarding, offboarding, and access reviews that hold up in an audit.
Run the access-review and device-compliance checks, then automate the parts you find yourself repeating.
Keep compliance green with code: help remediate failing Vanta tests and automate evidence collection.
Triage inbound security and IT requests from employees for one shift a week, with a mentor reviewing every response.
Write runbooks and triage notes that an engineer, or an AI agent, can leverage.
Use AI tools (Claude Code and similar) as a first resort to scale your own work, and push those workflows toward fully automated production jobs.
AI-first mindset. We empower the team with the best tools available to scale beyond themselves.
Junior or Senior at a US college or university, in computer science or a related program.
Scripting ability in Python or similar. You have written something that calls an API and does a job for you.
Working knowledge of how identity works in a company: SSO, MFA, directory groups, least privilege.
One concrete thing you have administered or secured: a club's Google Workspace, a home lab, a campus help desk, a CTF team's infrastructure, a part-time IT job.
Clear security writing: send us something you wrote (a lab writeup, a README, a blog post, a how-to).
Available 20 hours a week during the school year, with at least 4 hours of overlap with US business hours on 3 or more days. Authorized to work in the US; this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
