$35-60/hrRemoteFreelanceSTEM

About the Role

We partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, safer AI systems — and we need real security practitioners to make it happen.

As a Vulnerability Management Analyst, you'll bring your hands-on experience with CVEs, exposure management, and remediation workflows to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. Your domain expertise directly shapes how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity risk in the real world.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Analyze vulnerability reports, CVEs, and exposure scenarios across infrastructure and applications
  • Classify severity, impact, exploitability, and appropriate remediation strategies
  • Review and evaluate patching, mitigation, and remediation decision-making scenarios
  • Generate, label, and validate realistic security-reasoning data used to train and improve AI systems
  • Apply your real-world judgment to distinguish theoretical risk from what actually matters in production environments

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in vulnerability management, security operations, or infrastructure security
  • Solid familiarity with CVEs, vulnerability scanners, patching workflows, and risk prioritization frameworks
  • Strong understanding of the tradeoffs between textbook risk ratings and practical production risk
  • A clear, structured, and analytical thinker who can communicate reasoning concisely
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with tools like Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, or similar vulnerability management platforms
  • Familiarity with frameworks such as CVSS, EPSS, or CISA KEV
  • Background in cloud security, application security, or enterprise infrastructure
  • Prior experience contributing to security documentation, runbooks, or risk assessments

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
  • Put your security expertise to use in a way that has lasting impact on how AI handles real-world risk
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
