Offensive Security Analyst (Structured / Non-Exploit)

Alignerr Corp.; Sydney; Remote; AUD 96,000 - 179,000; Part time

Job summary

Alignerr is seeking offensive security professionals to map attack paths and model adversary behavior. Your work will help train AI systems for next-generation cyber defense, focusing on structured adversarial reasoning rather than exploits.

This is a fully remote, hourly contract role with flexible scheduling. You will analyze real-world attack paths, review red-team scenarios, and contribute to training data for AI-driven security insights while working 10-40 hours per week.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in pentesting, red teaming, or a blue-team role with deep attack knowledge.
• Understanding how real attacks unfold in production environments, not just theory.
• Ability to explain adversarial thinking clearly: attacker actions, rationale, and defender implications.

Responsibilities

• Analyze attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies across realistic system scenarios.
• Identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in simulated environments.
• Review red-team-style scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy and depth.
• Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train AI systems.
• Articulate attack chains, risk propagation, and defender tradeoffs in structured formats.
• Work independently and asynchronously on scheduled tasks.

Job description

About The Role

What if your ability to think like an adversary could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity threats? We're looking for offensive security professionals to analyze real-world attack paths, model adversary behavior, and help build the AI systems that will power the next generation of cyber defense.

About The Role

What if your ability to think like an adversary could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity threats? We're looking for offensive security professionals to analyze real-world attack paths, model adversary behavior, and help build the AI systems that will power the next generation of cyber defense.

This isn't about writing exploits. It's about structured adversarial reasoning - mapping how attacks unfold, where defenses break down, and how risk moves through modern environments. Your expertise becomes the foundation that frontier AI learns from.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for security practitioners who want to do meaningful work on their own schedule.

• 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, real-world system scenarios
• Identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in simulated environments
• Review and evaluate red-team-style scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy and depth
• Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate AI systems
• Clearly articulate attack chains, risk propagation, and defender tradeoffs in structured formats
• Work independently and asynchronously - on your own schedule

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 unfold in production environments - not just in theory
• You can explain adversarial thinking clearly: what an attacker does, why, and what it means for defenders
• Detail-oriented and methodical - you spot what others miss and can document it precisely
• Comfortable working independently on structured, task-based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience with threat modeling, adversary emulation, or purple team exercises
• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, or OSSTMM
• Background in cloud security, Active Directory environments, or network intrusion analysis
• Prior experience contributing to security training, documentation, or content development

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, impactful work
• Apply your offensive security expertise to a domain that's genuinely shaping the future
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
