Comply We’re Geo

Comply! We are at the forefront of geolocation, cybersecurity, and anti-fraud innovation, developing and delivering cutting-edge technologies to help ensure regulatory compliance, combat bad online actors, alleviate user friction, and protect businesses from fraud.

Achieving significant business and revenue growth over the past three years and dubbed a tech “Unicorn,” Geo

Our compliance-grade geolocation technology solutions are installed on over 400 million devices and analyze over 12 billion transactions a year.

With teams across five countries, three continents, and a global customer base, we have no plans to slow down.

Location: Vancouver, B.C.

Full time, 40 hrs/week · Contract length: (Sept–Dec 2026) Start date: January 8th, 2026 Application deadline: October 31, 2026 Salary range: $54,000 and $62,000 (annualized, prorated to your ~4-month placement).

The Role: A large share of internet traffic isn't people.

It's bots: automated scripts dressed up as real users, probing for weaknesses and slipping past defences built for humans.

Geo

Comply is a leader in telling the difference, and Browser

Guard is where that fight happens in the browser.

This is a fundamental research role on our push to catch the browser-based bots that beat the signals we have today.

You won't be doing general software engineering.

You'll be doing original research: studying how modern bots evade detection at the browser level, and inventing the new signals that catch them.

Over four months the goal is ambitious on purpose.

You'll generate and validate a body of net-new detection signals, ideas strong enough to become real features in Browser

Guard and proven against real customer data.

Our engineers can build and test what you find.

Your job is to find what they haven't.

If it's good, Geo

Comply's engineers will build and test what you find.

What You’ll do: Study how browser-based bots evade current detection, working close to the Chromium and Java

Script internals where the signals actually live.

Form and test original hypotheses about what gives a bot away, producing a steady stream of net-new detection signals and feature ideas for Browser

Guard (Project Decard).

Validate your ideas against real customer data,



so what you propose catches bots the current system misses without flagging real users.

Hand your best signals to the engineering team in a form they can build and ship.

Embrace Stretch Opportunities (The Fun Part!): As a Geo

Comply intern, expect to be pushed.

You'll be given special, high-value projects outside the immediate scope of your role, a chance to explore new skills, test your limits, and adapt to new challenges across the business.

Requirements A Master's or PhD-level computer science student or recent grad, or someone with equivalent depth. A real programmer with research instincts.

You've done work where the answer wasn't known in advance.

An understanding of bleeding edge bot detection and fraud strategies, and you want to learn more.

You are deep in the browser.

You know Java

Script from the inside, and you're comfortable or could learn Chromium internals and internet protocols.

Independent and relentlessly curious.

You're at your best pulling apart how something works, not waiting for direction.

What this role is (and isn't) This role is: Original research, not just implementation.

You generate the ideas and prove them out; our engineers build them.

Deeply independent.

You'll set your own research direction and drive it.

Genuinely hard.

This is a frontier problem with no answer key, built for someone who wants to disrupt how things work, not follow a plan.

High potential for a return offer and full time role if your signal measurably extend detection.

This role is not: A general software-engineering internship, or a role with a set checklist to execute. A fit if you wait to be told what to do, or lose interest when a problem is wide open. A slow ramp.

You'll be expected to grasp the codebase and start contributing real ideas within your first few weeks, not months.

Bonus Points if (this is for things that are NICE to have, but not needed) You've contributed to the Chromium project or other open-source browser or security work.

Prior research in bot detection, anti-fraud, anti-spoofing, or adversarial ML.

You've published or presented original technical research What You'll Gain Real ownership of original research on Geo

Comply's fraud and detection frontier, evaluated by the people who lead it. A rare thing for a student:



fundamental computer-science research that ships, and pays. A genuine path to a full time offer if your output is strong.

Mentorship from the Browser

Guard team, working in-office in Vancouver alongside senior engineers.

Room for Growth: We think young talent has so much to offer.

Your work will have a meaningful impact on your team and the organization, and will allow you to grow your skills, network, and career.

Salary Range 54000 - 62000 CAD, per-year-salary Why is our salary range so large? This role pays between $50,000 and $62,000 (annualized, prorated to your ~4-month placement).

That's a wide band, let us explain why.

Our salary range covers every intern we hire across our Early Talent Program: whether this is your first internship or your third+, and whether you're at the beginning of your Bachelor's or finishing your Masters.

Because this role would prefer more schooling or equivalent experience than other internship roles, the range starts higher than other roles. TL;DR: A first-internship student and a more experienced masters student are both encouraged to apply: they just won't be paid the same, and they shouldn't be.
