Offensive Security Analyst (Structured / Non-Exploit)
About this role
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 What You'll Do - 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 Who You Are - 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 Nice to Have - 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 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 - 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
