Vulnerability Management Analyst

$35-60/hrRemoteFreelanceSTEM

About the Role

We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more capable AI systems — and we need security practitioners who know what vulnerability management looks like in the real world.

This isn't a theoretical exercise. You'll work with realistic scenarios drawn from actual security operations: CVEs, scanner outputs, patching decisions, risk prioritization, and remediation tradeoffs. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity risk.

  • 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 application environments
  • Classify severity, exploitability, business impact, and appropriate remediation strategies
  • Evaluate patching, mitigation, and risk-acceptance decisions in realistic operational contexts
  • Generate, label, and validate security-reasoning data used to train and benchmark AI systems
  • Apply your real-world judgment to help AI distinguish theoretical risk from what actually matters in production

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in vulnerability management, security operations, or infrastructure security
  • Familiar with CVEs, vulnerability scanners, patching workflows, and risk prioritization frameworks (CVSS, EPSS, or similar)
  • Comfortable reasoning about the gap between textbook risk and operational reality
  • Clear, structured, and analytical thinker who can communicate security concepts in writing
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with exposure management platforms (Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, or similar)
  • Background in cloud infrastructure security or application vulnerability assessment
  • Familiarity with threat intelligence and exploit landscape analysis
  • Prior work in security consulting, red/blue team operations, or SOC environments

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Make a meaningful contribution to how AI understands real-world cybersecurity
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
