About Netcraft
Netcraft is the global leader in cybercrime detection and disruption. We’re a trusted partner for three of the four largest companies in the world and many large governments. We've blocked over 225 million cyber-attacks to date, and we take down around 33% of the world's phishing attacks.
Our purpose and passion are focused on just one thing: protecting the world from cybercrime.
That passion shapes how we work, too. We’re proud of our talented team and the value each person brings, and we’ve built a workplace where people feel supported and inspired. From strong benefits and wellness programs to meaningful collaboration and team connection.
The Role
As a Software Engineering Intern at Netcraft, you will be trusted with meaningful, production-level work from the outset. You will contribute directly to the development and enhancement of our core platforms and services, which are used by major institutions across both public and private sectors.
You will join a specialised engineering team focused on a distinct area of our technology stack. Depending on your interests and skills, your work may involve improving the scalability of our infrastructure, enhancing the performance of our anti-phishing detection systems, developing tools to monitor and analyse web vulnerabilities, or refining user interfaces for internal and external applications.
For example, you may help scale our classification system, which processes over 15 million URLs daily, or contribute to the automation of workflows that remove malicious content from the internet. You will be supported by experienced engineers - many of whom began their careers at Netcraft as interns - and benefit from a culture of open communication, mentorship, and continuous learning.
This role can be based out of our London, Bath, or Manchester offices.
Please note: this role is specifically intended for students who are currently undertaking university studies and will continue their studies beyond 2027. We are therefore unable to accept applications from graduates or students who are due to graduate in 2027.
What we are looking for:
We’re seeking curious, adaptable, and motivated individuals who are passionate about coding and eager to grow. You don’t need prior cybersecurity experience - just a willingness to learn.
You’ll need:
- Strong attention to detail and a solutions-focused mindset
- Demonstrable ability in imperative programming
- Interest in internet technologies, network security, data mining, or web-based UIs
- A solid academic track record
- Good communication skills and fluency in English (additional languages are a plus)
- Experience working collaboratively in teams
- A well-developed sense of caution and ability to plan for the future with suitable programming abstractions, automated test suites and version control
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
This is deeply important to us. Through our ally network, we support under-represented groups and maintain a working environment free from bias, harassment, or discrimination. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
We’re also happy to make adjustments to the hiring process to ensure every candidate can participate fully.
Please note: Netcraft does not accept unsolicited approaches from external recruiters.
