Summer 2027 Intern Information Security

About Us

Ready to make an impact Were looking for an onsite intern to join our team for the 10-week Summer Internship program (May 17 - July 23 2027) at our headquarters in Wilmington NC. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday September 28th.

How This Role Impacts Live Oak and Its People

Every loan application that reaches Live Oak carries a business owners tax returns and years of financial history. Information Security is the reason that material stays where it belongs. The team watches for threats across the bank reviews how new systems get built digs into the security of the vendors we rely on and gets to other teams while a weak spot is still cheap to fix.

We work AI-first. Analysts here run agents to triage alerts and to pull answers out of log files no person could read by hand. A human still makes the call on what matters and who needs to hear about it.

An intern sits inside that work. Your summer project goes onto the teams real roadmap and you will present what you found to the people who own it. By the end of the summer you will know how a bank defends itself day to day. Ask a lot of questions while you are here because that is part of what we want out of the role.
