About

P-X is growing. The past couple of years a solid foundation for the company has been laid. Now it is time for P-X to scale, and that is why we need you!

We are a European cybersecurity company headquartered in the historic center of Amsterdam.

We develop and deliver a full service security platform which ranges from our own hardware, low-level and userland software. Our solution collects and analyses data from networks and can pass it on to other security tools such as security information and event management (SIEM) platforms.

You get to work with a unique solution. The hardware is versatile and flexible in its deployment. We use radio frequency (RF) communications to transmit (meta)data to downstream security services, making it unlike any other solution.

Our customers are mostly in the utilities, oil & gas and water sectors, our focus is on the operational technology (OT) realm; the technology is equally relevant in the world of IT.

What we are looking for in general

In most companies IT employees are increasingly only working on a highly abstracted level. This counteracts holistic insight and the eventual effectiveness of anything you produce.

P-X Systems is looking for people who are inquisitive by nature and have broader knowledge and curiosity about digital technology. In other words the true meaning of the word "hacker".

This also means - from our side - that everyone in the company enjoys a lot of freedom and is able to work on a great variety of activities and technologies.

We promise that on all levels you will be working with bleeding edge technology across the board.

If you are interested (or curious) about joining our team, please reach out and we can have a chat. If there is mutual interest and a strong performance during the internship, there may be an opportunity to transition into a permanent position with us.

We will cover your (travel) expenses and provide a complimentary lunch. Optionally an additional compensenation is offered depending on your skill level and the number of hours worked per week.

What you will be doing

We are looking for a passionate intern to join our development team and work on automated front-end application testing using Cypress. This position can be filled for 3-6 months, depending on the scope and/or requirements from educational institutions (if applicable).

If you’re interested in further developing your skills in testing and quality assurance, this opportunity could be perfect for you!
