From the Alignerr listing
What You'll Do
- Analyze vulnerability reports, CVEs, and real-world exposure scenarios across infrastructure and applications
- Classify severity, exploitability, and business impact using industry-standard frameworks
- Evaluate patching, mitigation, and remediation decision-making scenarios for accuracy and practicality
- Generate, label, and validate realistic security-reasoning data used to train and benchmark AI systems
- Apply your understanding of the gap between theoretical risk and what actually matters in production environments
About the Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more capable AI systems — and we need real security practitioners to make it happen. As a Vulnerability Management Analyst, you'll apply your hands-on expertise in CVEs, risk prioritization, and remediation to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models on how security teams actually think and operate. This is a unique opportunity to go beyond your day-to-day security work and directly influence how the next generation of AI understands cybersecurity risk.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
Who You Are
- 2+ years of experience in vulnerability management, security operations, or infrastructure security
- Solid familiarity with CVEs, vulnerability scanners, patching workflows, and risk prioritization frameworks (e.g., CVSS, EPSS, KEV)
- You understand real-world remediation tradeoffs — not just what the scanner says, but what a security team would actually do
- Structured, analytical thinker who can communicate reasoning clearly in writing
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on async, task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with exposure management platforms (e.g., Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, Wiz)
- Background in threat intelligence, penetration testing, or cloud security
- Familiarity with AI workflows or data labeling — though not required
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule and workload
- Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
- Apply your security expertise in a brand-new way that shapes the future of AI

Common questions
How hard is the Alignerr assessment?
Hard, and unforgiving. Alignerr uses TestGorilla for timed, role-specific tests: a blank coding environment for engineers, strict grammar and fact-checking for writers. Treat it as one shot. Failing or abandoning it typically locks you out of that role permanently, with no retake.
How soon can I start earning on Alignerr after passing the assessment?
Not right away. After passing, you still complete identity verification through Persona and billing setup through Deel, then wait in a pool for weeks or months. You only start earning once a project matching your specific skills launches and assigns you. Don't count on Alignerr income until you're actively placed on a project.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Software Engineering work look like for a Vulnerability Management Analyst?
Tasks here are scoped to Software Engineering, not generic labeling. As a Vulnerability Management Analyst, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Software Engineering) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Software Engineering background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
AI Training is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening process to test for it directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $35–$60/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Alignerr's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
What is the barrier to entry for Alignerr?
A difficult, timed technical assessment in your specific domain, like Python, physics, or language. Passing it is required before you're eligible for any paid projects.
