Requirements
What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, cybersecurity, or a related field.
• 2+ years of hands-on vulnerability analysis experience - assessing, triaging, and reasoning about software vulnerabilities and their impact.
• Working understanding of the vulnerability lifecycle, disclosure processes, and scoring/classification frameworks (e.g., CVE, CWE, CVSS).
• Ability to analyze software and dependency relationships.
• Familiarity with applying automation and AI/LLM tooling to scale vulnerability analysis (preferred).
• Background supporting U.S. Government or critical-infrastructure cybersecurity missions (preferred).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
