Internship Cloud & Security Lab Technician

Samsung SDS is a global IT services and solutions leader that helps enterprises accelerate digital transformation. Combining deep industry expertise with advanced technologies — including cloud, AI, data analytics, and secure enterprise platforms — Samsung SDS America, the North America subsidiary, designs and delivers scalable, outcome-driven solutions that improve operational efficiency, reduce risk, and unlock new business value across finance, manufacturing, retail, and public sectors.

At Samsung SDS America, we take the most advanced concepts in Cloud and AI and turn them into scalable, real-world enterprise solutions. As a Managed Service Provider (MSP) leader, we don't just recommend technology—we architect, deploy, and optimize it.

As our intern, you will step into our MSP Lab, the high-tech playground where we prototype, test, and validate the cloud and security solutions that will eventually run global industries.

You will work at the intersection of Engineering and Business Strategy. You won't just be configuring servers; you’ll be understanding why a customer needs them.

Eligibility Requirements

• Currently enrolled in an accredited Undergrad or Graduate program (Graduation date: 2026 or 2027).
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship.
• Able to commit to a 10-week, 40-hour/week program starting June 8th, 2026.
• Ability to commute to our Ridgefield Park, NJ office at least 3 days per week.

Position Summary:

Curious about how prototypes evolve into customer-ready offerings and how MSP organizations operate? You’ll gain hands‑on experience building real‑world lab environments, learning how cloud, security, and Fin Ops solutions are architected, deployed and validated. You’ll also gain exposure to automation, infrastructure‑as‑code, monitoring, and cost‑optimization practices all while collaborating with experienced professionals across strategy, tech, and operations.

As an intern, you’ll work alongside cross‑functional teams to build lab environments for cloud and security accelerators to help deliver rapid prototypes across our four MSP offerings. You will also contribute to the team’s KPIs by enhancing our solution development velocity, time‑to‑prototype, and overall team productivity.
