Lead Vulnerability Intelligence Analyst

This is a senior cybersecurity role focused on determining the real-world risk posed by newly discovered vulnerabilities. You'll design and maintain honeypots, isolated analysis environments, and tooling that help a specialized team assess vulnerabilities at scale. As a technical lead, you'll establish standards for vulnerability assessment while mentoring junior analysts and expanding intelligence capabilities. The position is remote-friendly and offers the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals dedicated to staying ahead of evolving threats. Acquire, modify, test, and validate proof-of-concept exploits in controlled virtual environments to confirm or refute exploitability claims. Design, build, and operate honeypots and sensor systems capable of monitoring real-world exploitation activity. Develop practical mitigation strategies for situations where patching is delayed, unavailable, or insufficient, including configuration hardening, network segmentation, access controls, feature disabling, and other defensive measures. Build and maintain automation that streamlines vulnerability assessment, Po C testing, triage, intelligence collection, and analysis workflows. Train, mentor, and support junior team members, raising the technical capabilities and analytical standards of the wider team. Proven ability to validate and test proof-of-concept exploits and independently assess whether exploitation claims are technically credible. Strong programming ability in at least one language such as Python, Go, C, C++, or a similar language, sufficient to understand exploit code, modify Po Cs, and develop custom tooling. Hands-on experience working with virtual machines, containers, and reusable laboratory environments for safe exploitation testing and technical analysis. Strong computer science fundamentals and a thorough understanding of core computing and internet technologies, including TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, authentication, authorization, and real-world system deployment. Ability to develop mitigations beyond simply recommending patches and understand how defensive controls affect exploitation risk. Strong technical writing skills, with the ability to produce clear and detailed vulnerability intelligence reports for security professionals. A strong bias toward automation and demonstrated ability to build systems that make vulnerability assessment, triage, and analysis more efficient. Experience mentoring or training less experienced security professionals and raising technical standards across a team. Experience automating proof-of-concept testing and validation is a strong advantage. Public speaking, conference participation, or published technical security writing is also advantageous. Remote-friendly culture: Work remotely while collaborating with an experienced international cybersecurity team. Professional development: A variety of opportunities to expand your technical knowledge, cybersecurity expertise, and career development. Collaborate with professionals with backgrounds spanning intelligence services, military, law enforcement, cybersecurity, and private-sector threat intelligence. Work on vulnerability and exploitation trends affecting organizations and threat actors across global markets. #
