Internships at Kasada are aimed to be about learning fast, building cool things, and contributing to the work our teams care about. Whether it's digging into the latest machine learning techniques or uncovering the tactics of commercial bots, we treat internships like launchpads for learning, contribution, and growth.
We caught up with two of our recent interns, Max (from ANU) and Kasey (from Lafayette College), to hear about their time at Kasada. They came in from different sides of the business—engineering and operations, but both left with new skills, meaningful contributions, and a sharper sense of where they’re headed next.
Pushing Boundaries with Machine Learning & Enhancing CRM Hygiene
For Max, "the most enjoyable part of my internship was researching new machine learning techniques I’d never encountered before.”
His project centered around detecting anomalies in time series data, work that began with basic algorithms but evolved into something far more advanced. When early models mistakenly flagged day/night cycles as anomalies, he pivoted to explore STL decomposition. “It was exciting to learn how to factor in seasonality while still detecting true outliers.”
Kasey, on the other hand, worked from the business side, applying his studies in business and data science to the world of sales operations. He focused on cleaning up CRM data in HubSpot, using tools like Dedupely and Clay to streamline sales outreach and make prospecting more efficient. “The combination of orderly data and enriched intel made sales outreach more targeted. It was rewarding to see analysis actually inform strategy.”
Learning How Bots Work—and How to Stop Them
Before joining, Max associated bots mostly with malware and botnets. But at Kasada, he discovered the commercial side of bot attacks—scraping, credential abuse, checkout fraud—and how damaging these can be for major brands.
“Learning how Kasada detects and disrupts these threats in real time was fascinating. It gave me a whole new view of cybersecurity.”
