About the Role What if your hard-won knowledge of how attackers think, move, and succeed could directly shape how AI understands cybersecurity threats? We're looking for Offensive Security Analysts to bring real-world adversarial expertise to frontier AI development — analyzing attack paths, modeling threat behavior, and helping train AI systems to reason about security the way the best humans do. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No exploit development required — just deep, practical knowledge of how real attacks unfold and the ability to articulate what matters and why. - 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 - Identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps and explain how they can be chained or exploited - Review red-team-style scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy, completeness, and realism - Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate AI systems - Clearly articulate threat impact, attacker decision-making, and risk propagation in structured formats - 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 in live environments — not just in theory - You can walk through a kill chain, explain attacker intent, and articulate where defenses fail - Able to communicate complex security concepts clearly in writing - Self-motivated and consistent when working independently - No exploit development or active hacking required for this role Nice to Have - Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, or STRIDE - Experience writing red team reports, threat models, or post-incident narratives - Background in cloud security, network security, or endpoint detection and response - Prior exposure to AI tools, security research, or data labeling workflows 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 reasons about real-world cybersecurity threats - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
