Why Now

Censys has reached a point that few companies do: the foundation is built, and it’s working.

We’ve built our reputation on data fidelity other companies can’t match, which is why security teams, governments, and researchers trust us.

Now it’s time to scale while shaping emerging categories. That means you’ll join a proven company, with enough still being built that your work will visibly define what’s to come.

Internship Opportunities

At Censys, interns work on projects that ship and make a measurable impact. That can mean building fingerprints that expand visibility across more than 15 million installations, conducting research cited by outlets like Cybernews, Security Online, and TipRanks, contributing findings to our State of the Internet Report, or developing new protocol scanners that uncover tens of thousands of previously undiscovered hosts.

Twelve weeks of production-impacting work — a customer-facing feature, an internal tool, or original security research, not a shelved capstone project.
