Summer Hunters: Developer Track
Description
Your Mission
Your mission as a Hoxhunt Summer Hunter is simple and powerful: help build software that protects people and organizations from hackers, phishers, and cybercrime.
You'll work on real products used globally, contributing code that raises awareness against phishing and cyberattacks and helps secure digital societies. This isn't a sandbox internship, it's a chance to create meaningful impact while learning how modern, scalable software is built in a fast-growing cybersecurity company.
