About the Role
What if your ability to think like an adversary could directly shape how AI understands cybersecurity threats? We're looking for offensive security professionals to analyze real-world attack paths, adversary behavior, and defensive gaps — and use that expertise to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI systems.
This is not an exploit development role. It's about structured adversarial reasoning: modeling how threats move through systems, where defenses fail, and how risk propagates across modern environments. Your insights go directly into frontier AI research.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Analyze attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies across realistic production environments
- Identify and classify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in system architectures
- Review red-team-style scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy, completeness, and realism
- Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate AI models
- Clearly articulate attack chains, potential impact, and security tradeoffs in structured formats
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in penetration testing, red teaming, or an offensive-minded blue team role
- Deep understanding of how real attacks unfold in production environments — not just theory
- Able to break down complex attack chains and communicate them clearly in writing
- Comfortable working with realistic threat scenarios without needing to develop or deploy actual exploits
- Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and reliable when working independently
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, kill chain modeling, or threat intelligence
- Experience in threat modeling, purple team exercises, or security architecture review
- Background in cloud security, Active Directory environments, or enterprise network defense
- Certifications such as OSCP, CEH, GPEN, or equivalent practical experience
- Prior involvement in AI, data labeling, or structured annotation workflows
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
- Apply your offensive security expertise to a genuinely new and impactful domain
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
