/ About Cognton AI

We're building India's most advanced cyber security company — think Palo Alto Networks, rebuilt from India, for the world. Our flagship is an Agentic Security Platform — an agentic next-generation firewall paired with an agentic SOC that reasons, decides and acts on its own. Deep-tech and zero-to-one!

/ The Role

You'll own the infrastructure that keeps our agentic firewall and SOC running — cloud, systems, network and hardware, end to end. This is a standard AI Ops role applied to a live cybersecurity product: no ticket queue, no hand-holding — you build it, run it, and automate it so it doesn't need you to repeat yourself.

NOTE: It is a 6-month on-site internship with a guaranteed full-time conversion.

/ Key Responsibilities

- Cloud infrastructure — deploy, monitor and maintain AI/ML workloads and supporting infrastructure across AWS and GCP.
- Linux systems — provision, configure, harden and troubleshoot servers end to end.
- Networking — set up and debug TCP/IP, DNS, routing, VPNs and firewalls for internal infra and product testing.
- Hardware — support evaluation and integration of components used in firewall appliance builds.
- AI Automation — build CI/CD pipelines, monitoring/alerting and scripts that kill repetitive ops work permanently.




- Collaboration — work directly with engineering on infrastructure for the agentic SOC and firewall platform.
- Documentation — keep infra setup, runbooks and SOPs current and usable.

/ Who We're Looking For

- A genuine geek — curious by nature, always trying out current tools and technologies.
- Hungry to grow — learns rapid and takes on more responsibility as you prove yourself.
- Automation-first — believes in setting up clean processes rather than repeating manual work.
- Cloud & Linux fundamentals — working knowledge of AWS and/or GCP core services, and hands-on Linux administration.
- Networking basics — a solid grasp of TCP/IP, DNS, routing, VPNs and firewalls.
- Comfortable with hardware — some exposure to hardware/software integration or systems-level work.
- Right background — pursuing or recently completed a B.Tech/B.E. (or equivalent) in CS, IT, Electronics or related field.

/ Why This Role

- Real ownership — build and run infrastructure for a deep-tech product from day one.
- Founder-level access — work directly alongside the founding team building India's most advanced cyber security company.
- A clear path to full time — safe learning environment for 6 months before you join full time.
- Hands-on with frontier tech — AWS, GCP, Linux, networking and hardware — all on a live agentic security platform.
