An intern on this track mines open-source intelligence for the political signal our strategists brief from — coordinated-mention behaviour, narrative-amplification networks, policy-disinformation campaigns, alliance-fracture indicators. It is hands-on intelligence work from month one, not academic study. ### What is the eligibility for the Political Intelligence Analyst Internship? Final-year students and recent graduates in political science, international relations, journalism, computer science, statistics, or self-taught equivalents with demonstrable OSINT instinct. No diploma is mandatory: we evaluate demonstrated collection-and-triangulation ability and primary-source reading, not paperwork. ### Is the Political Intelligence Analyst Internship paid? Compensation is discussed during the screening process and depends on demonstrated skill, engagement classification, urgency, and track record. We deliberately do not publish figures — every intern is evaluated and compensated individually. ### How long is the internship, and is a certificate provided? The program runs 6 months at our New Delhi HQ, with a certificate provided on completion — and, more importantly, a portfolio of real intelligence briefs. Strong interns receive full-time offers. ### What is the selection process for the Political Intelligence Analyst Internship? A short application form, one OSINT-collection screening task on a realistic political scenario, and a final interview with the political-intelligence lead where you walk through your task reasoning live. The whole cycle typically completes within two weeks. ### Does CryptoMize hire Political Intelligence Analyst interns in Delhi only? The internship is based at our New Delhi HQ in Vasant Vihar, where you work directly with the political-intelligence cell. Full-time Political Intelligence Analyst roles occasionally support remote or hybrid arrangements depending on the engagement. ### Which skills should I learn before applying? OSINT methodology basics (source triangulation, attribution-chain discipline), Python or SQL for data extraction, social-media-intelligence fundamentals, and the ability to write a clear two-page intelligence note. Everything else — the platforms, the engagement patterns, the standards — we teach in-house, on real intelligence data from week one. Apply: https://cryptomize.com/careers/internship/apply/
