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
