The job description

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 data, and remediation workflows to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models on how security teams actually think and operate.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your domain expertise in a new way — shaping how the next generation of AI understands and reasons about real-world security risk.

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 help AI distinguish between theoretical risk and what actually matters in production environments

Who You Are

2+ years of experience in vulnerability management, security operations, or infrastructure security
Familiar with CVEs, vulnerability scanners, patching workflows, and risk prioritization frameworks (e.g., CVSS, EPSS, SSVC)
You understand the nuance between a high CVSS score and an actual exploitable threat in the wild
A structured, analytical thinker who can explain your reasoning clearly in writing
Comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

Experience with tools like Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, or similar platforms
Familiarity with cloud or container security vulnerability management
Background in threat intelligence or security architecture
Prior work in AI, data labeling, or technical content evaluation

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
Your security expertise creates lasting impact on how AI understands real-world risk
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
