OPSWAT, a global leader in IT, OT, and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity, delivers an end-to-end platform that gives public and private sector organizations and enterprises the critical advantage needed to protect their complex networks, secure their devices, and ensure compliance. Over the last 20 years our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure and securing our way of life.

OPSWAT is now searching for a Software Engineering Intern to join our MDaaS product. MDaaS is a real-time malware scanning platform handling 30M+ requests/day, built on a Node.js/TypeScript microservices architecture with event streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and React frontend.

As an Intern, you'll work directly with senior engineers — shipping real features, fixing real bugs, and learning how a production-grade cybersecurity platform is built and operated.

Responsibilities

~1 min read

→
Implement small features and bug fixes across backend services (Node.js/TypeScript) under guidance from senior engineers
→
Write unit and integration tests to improve coverage on existing modules
→
Participate in code reviews — both receiving feedback and reviewing peers
→
Debug issues in local and staging environments using logs and tracing tools
→
Read and understand event-driven flows (Kafka consumers, RabbitMQ handlers) to contribute to ingestion and processing pipelines
→
Update and maintain internal documentation, API specs, and runbooks
→
Join sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives as an active team member
→
Experiment with frontend components in the internal tooling dashboard (React + TypeScript)

By the end of your time on MDaaS, you'll have hands-on exposure to:

Production TypeScript microservices — structure, patterns, and testing
Event-driven architecture with Kafka and RabbitMQ
Docker and basic Kubernetes concepts (deployment, logs, exec)
Code review culture and engineering standards in a global product company
How a cybersecurity SaaS platform processes millions of file scan requests
