Offensive Security Analyst (Structured / Non-Exploit)
About this role
About the Role What if your instinct for how attacks unfold — the lateral movement, the missed detection, the cascading failure — could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems understand cybersecurity? We're looking for experienced offensive and defensive security professionals to analyze real-world attack scenarios, model adversary behavior, and help build the adversarial reasoning data that trains and evaluates cutting-edge AI. This role is about structured threat thinking — not writing exploits. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you can map a kill chain, identify where defenses collapse, and explain it clearly, we want to hear from you. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Analyze attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies across realistic, production-grade environments - Identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps that real threat actors exploit - Review red team scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy, depth, and adversarial realism - Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate AI systems - Clearly articulate how attacks unfold, what their impact is, and what tradeoffs defenders face - Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments 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 move through production environments — not just in theory - You can trace an attack from initial access to impact and explain every step clearly - Strong written communicator — you can break down complex threat scenarios for varied audiences - Detail-oriented, systematic, and comfortable working independently without close supervision - No exploit development required — this role is about analysis and reasoning, not writing shellcode Nice to Have - Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, or similar threat modeling methodologies - Experience with cloud environments, Active Directory, or enterprise network architectures - Background in threat intelligence, incident response, or detection engineering - Prior experience creating or reviewing security training content - Certifications such as OSCP, CEH, GPEN, GWAPT, or equivalent Why Join Us - Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading AI 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 hard-earned security expertise to a domain that's actively shaping the future of AI - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
