Offensive Security Analyst; Structured​/Non-Exploit

About The Role

What if your knowledge of how attacks unfold — the kill chains, the lateral movement, the overlooked misconfigurations — could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity threats?

We're looking for Offensive Security Analysts to bring real-world adversarial thinking to cutting-edge AI development. This isn't about writing exploits. It's about structured reasoning: mapping how attackers move through systems, where defenses break down, and how risk cascades across modern environments. Your expertise becomes the foundation that makes AI smarter about security.

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

• Analyze realistic attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies across modern production environments
• Classify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in structured, reviewable formats
• Evaluate red team‑style scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy, depth, and realism
• Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate AI security systems
• Clearly articulate attack chains, impact assessments, and risk tradeoffs in writing
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

• 2+ years of hands‑on experience in pentesting, red teaming, or a blue‑team role with deep offensive knowledge
• You understand how real attacks unfold — not just in theory, but in messy, real‑world production systems
• You can think like an attacker and communicate it clearly — translating complex threat scenarios into structured, actionable analysis
• Detail‑oriented and methodical, with a consistent approach to evaluating adversarial risk
• Comfortable working independently without close supervision

• Experience with threat modeling, adversary emulation, or purple team exercises
• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, or STRIDE
• Background in cloud security, network security, or endpoint detection
• Prior exposure to AI systems, data labeling, or structured evaluation workflows
• Strong technical writing or documentation skills

• 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
  
  Make a tangible impact on how AI understands and reasons about real‑world security threats
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
