About us
IQUW is a speciality (re)insurer at Lloyd’s (Syndicate 1856) underwriting a diverse range of Speciality (re)insurance products from Commercial Property, Energy, Marine, Aviation, Professional Lines, Political Violence, Crisis Management and Cyber. We combine data, intelligent automation and human expertise to make smart decisions, fast.
The role
This internship presents a unique opportunity to collaborate closely with the CISO on cutting-edge AI-driven cybersecurity initiatives. The successful candidate will contribute to two flagship projects:
- GPT Interface for Digital Twin(Memgraph:Graph database): Extend an existing Streamlit application to include chat GPT-powered query interface for the “Yikes” Digital Twin, integrating insights from 14 graph-based data sources to drive better decision-making across business stakeholders.
- Autonomous Language Flow Agent: Develop a Language Flow-based agent using Chain-of-Thought strategies to perform automated cyber health checks on critical servers, enhancing real-time infrastructure visibility.
Key responsibilities
AI Integration & Interface Development:
- Design and prototype a user-friendly GPT Streamlit interface using Python to MCP server to cypher query and present insights from a graph database (Memgraph: MCP interface).
- Collaborate with stakeholders to understand and map Digital Twin data models.
- Autonomous Cyber Agent Development.
- Build Langflow-based autonomous flows to execute daily security health checks (e.g., patch state, security hardening, service anomalies).
- Create alerting logic through existing APIS to dashboards to highlight high-risk agent findings.
- Security-by-Design Mindset.
- Implement secure coding practices and follow defined ZScaler-controlled internet access protocols.
- Ensure minimal data exposure; develop with a security-first mindset.
- Documentation & Communication.
- Maintain technical documentation and contribute to executive briefings.
- Present progress to senior leadership, tailoring language to suit both technical and non-technical audiences.
The above duties and responsibilities are not an exhaustive list and you may be required to undertake any other reasonable duties compatible with your experience and competencies. This description may be varied from time to time to reflect changing business requirements.
Essential qualifications, skills, and experience
- Python proficiency: Confident in writing APIs, data manipulation, and building Streamlit/Langchain apps.
- Langflow knowledge: Ability to create agent workflows with Langflow or similar LLM orchestration tools.
- Graph databases: Understanding of Cypher query language and data retrieval from graph models (examples will be provided)
- Security Principles: Familiarity with foundational cybersecurity concepts (authentication, least privilege, monitoring).
Desirable behavioural attributes
- Clear communicator, able to translate technical outputs into business insights.
- Self-driven, able to manage ambiguity and experiment with rapid prototypes.
- Interest in AI, cybersecurity, or systems architecture.
