Software Engineering Intern - Fable

Job Summary

Fable Security is tackling the most critical challenge in cybersecurity: human errors. Human error is the #1 cause of security breaches, yet employees lack effective ways to learn what they need to stay secure. Fable is here to change that.

Fable's mission is to prevent cyber attacks by harnessing AI to transform human behavior and improve human defenses. We use the best practices from GenAI and behavioral systems to automatically identify your employees at risk, curate hyper-personalized Gen-AI video briefings, and deploy at the most relevant time, enabling employees to make the best security choices everywhere they work.

As a software engineer intern, you will work hand-in-hand with our team to ship features to our customers on a fast, weekly cadence. You will build full-stack products, backend services, or data pipelines to integrate with our customers' datasets, enable data scientists to assess employee risks, and build systems to generate gen-AI videos at scale.

If you want to experience building and shipping real features at an early stage startup, Fable is the place for you.

We are an early stage (~10 person and growing quickly) startup, backed by Greylock Partners, the investors behind Palo Alto Networks, Okta, Rubrik, Figma, and others. Our team has built many of the iconic products at Meta, Twitter, Flexport, and more. Our team has alumni from CMU, Waterloo, Columbia, Berkeley, Purdue, Stanford, and USC.
