Job summary

Alignerr is seeking an Offensive Security Analyst to analyze real-world attack paths and model adversary behavior for next-generation AI systems. You will generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train frontier AI systems while working on remote, flexible assignments.

The role emphasizes analyzing attack paths, identifying weaknesses, and documenting attack chains and risk tradeoffs for production environments.

Qualifications

• 2+ years in pentesting, red team operations, or a blue-team role with hands-on attack knowledge.
• Understand how real attacks unfold from initial access to lateral movement and impact.
• Able to articulate attacker mindset clearly and precisely.
• Able to analyze complex threat scenarios and produce structured, reasoned outputs.

Responsibilities

• Analyze attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies across realistic environments.
• Identify and classify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps.
• Review red-team scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy.
• Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data for AI training and evaluation.
• Clearly articulate attack chains, blast radius, and risk tradeoffs in written formats.
• Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments.

Job description

About The Role

What if your red team instincts and adversarial mindset could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity threats? We're looking for Offensive Security Analysts to analyze real-world attack paths, model adversary behavior, and help build the training data that powers next-generation AI systems.

About The Role

We're looking for Offensive Security Analysts to analyze real-world attack paths, model adversary behavior, and help build the training data that powers next-generation AI systems.

• 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 environments
• Identify and classify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps
• Review red-team-style scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy and completeness
• Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate frontier AI systems
• Clearly articulate attack chains, blast radius, and risk tradeoffs in structured written formats
• Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments — on your own schedule

Who You Are

• 2+ years in pentesting, red team operations, or a blue-team role with deep hands-on attack knowledge
• You understand how real attacks unfold — from initial access to lateral movement to impact
• Able to think like an attacker and communicate those thought processes clearly and precisely
• Comfortable analyzing complex threat scenarios and breaking them down into structured, reasoned outputs
• Detail-oriented and consistent — you don't cut corners when accuracy matters

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, or OWASP
• Experience writing threat models, attack narratives, or red team reports
• Background in cloud security, Active Directory environments, or enterprise network architecture
• Prior experience with AI tools or data annotation 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, high-impact work
• Contribute to AI that will shape how the industry understands and responds to cyber threats
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
