About the Role
What if your deep understanding of how attackers think could directly shape how AI reasons about cybersecurity threats? We're looking for offensive security professionals to analyze real-world attack paths, adversary behavior, and defensive gaps — helping train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems.
This role is about structured adversarial reasoning, not exploit development. No CVEs, no shellcode — just sharp, methodical thinking about how threats move through real environments and where defenses break down.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced security professionals who want meaningful, high-impact work on their own schedule.
- 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, real-world system scenarios
- Identify and classify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps that attackers would exploit
- Review red-team-style scenarios and intrusion narratives for technical accuracy and depth
- Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate AI systems
- Articulate complex attack chains, business impact, and risk tradeoffs in clear, structured language
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in pentesting, red teaming, or a blue-team role with strong offensive knowledge
- You understand how real attacks unfold in production environments — not just in theory
- You can walk through an attack chain from initial access to impact and explain every step clearly
- Detail-oriented and methodical — you spot what others miss
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously without close supervision
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, or STRIDE
- Experience writing threat models, purple team reports, or adversary simulation documentation
- Background in cloud security, Active Directory attacks, or network intrusion scenarios
- Prior exposure to AI tools, data labeling, or security research writing
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 domain where it creates lasting, large-scale impact
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
