About the role
Axle seeks a Cybersecurity Research Assistant to support NIH rare disease research from a remote position within the United States. You will implement and monitor security controls across Kubernetes, Linux, databases, and model-serving environments, while helping develop AI tooling for cybersecurity tasks.
This hands-on, early-career role offers supervision from an AI technical lead and a senior systems administrator, with sponsored certifications and dedicated study time.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
