About the Role
What if your instinct for thinking like an attacker could directly shape how AI understands cybersecurity threats? We're looking for Offensive Security Analysts to analyze real-world attack scenarios, model adversary behavior, and help build the AI systems that will define the next generation of security intelligence.
This role is focused on structured adversarial reasoning — not exploit development. You'll be working with realistic intrusion scenarios, kill chains, and threat models to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI systems. No writing shellcode. Just deep, methodical thinking about how attacks unfold, where defenses break down, and how risk propagates through modern environments.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Analyze attack paths, kill chains, and adversary tactics across realistic, production-style environments
- Identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in simulated or described systems
- Review red-team scenarios and intrusion narratives for technical accuracy and completeness
- 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 team operations, or a blue-team role with deep attack knowledge
- You understand how real attacks unfold in production environments — not just in theory
- Able to break down complex attack chains and explain them clearly and precisely
- Comfortable working through ambiguous scenarios and applying structured analytical thinking
- Detail-oriented and consistent — you notice what others miss
Nice to Have
- Experience with threat modeling frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, STRIDE, or similar
- Background in threat intelligence, incident response, or security architecture
- Familiarity with cloud, network, or application-layer attack surfaces
- Prior experience with AI tools, data labeling, or security research
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 problem space that genuinely matters
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
