Offensive Security Analyst (Structured / Non-Exploit)
About this role
About the Role What if your offensive security instincts could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about real-world threats? We're looking for experienced security professionals to analyze adversarial attack paths, model threat behavior, and help build the next generation of AI systems that understand cybersecurity at a deep, practical level. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — no exploit development required. You'll bring your red team mindset to structured adversarial reasoning: mapping how attacks unfold, where defenses break down, and how risk spreads across modern environments. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Analyze real-world attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies across a range of modern environments - Classify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in realistic system scenarios - Review and evaluate red team-style scenarios and intrusion narratives for technical accuracy and depth - Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate frontier AI systems - Articulate how attacks unfold, what impact they create, and what tradeoffs defenders face — in clear, structured language - Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments at your own pace Who You Are - 2+ years of hands-on experience in pentesting, red teaming, or a blue-team role with deep attack knowledge - You understand how real attacks actually unfold in production environments — not just in theory - Able to clearly explain attack chains, attacker objectives, and defensive implications to a technical audience - Naturally systematic and detail-oriented — you think in adversary mindsets and can map threat behavior end-to-end - Strong written communicator who can translate complex technical concepts into structured, accessible analysis - Comfortable working independently without close supervision Nice to Have - Experience with MITRE ATT&CK, threat modeling frameworks, or structured kill-chain analysis - Background in threat intelligence, incident response, or security architecture - Familiarity with cloud environments, Active Directory, or network security concepts - Prior work annotating, labeling, or evaluating technical content - Interest in AI safety, AI security, or how AI systems reason about complex domains Why Join Us - Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading AI research labs - Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule - Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work - Apply your offensive security expertise to a genuinely novel and high-impact domain - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
