Job summary

Alignerr Corp. seeks an Offensive Security Analyst to study real-world attack paths and model adversary behavior to help train AI systems for cybersecurity. This role focuses on structured adversarial reasoning rather than exploit development.

It is a fully remote, hourly contract with flexible hours ranging from 10 to 40 per week, allowing you to work asynchronously and on your own schedule. Prior red-team or offensive security experience is valued.

Qualifications

• 2+ years hands-on pentesting, red teaming, or blue-team with offensive knowledge.
• Ability to explain attack chains, adversary intent and downstream impact.
• Comfortable documenting reasoning clearly and working independently.

Responsibilities

• Analyze attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies in production-like environments.
• Identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in complex systems.
• Review red team scenarios and threat models; validate adversarial data for AI training.
• Articulate attack chains and risk tradeoffs in clear, structured formats.
• Work independently on task-based assignments with flexible scheduling.

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 Analysts to analyze real-world attack paths, model adversary behavior, and help build the AI systems that will define the future of security.

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 Analysts to analyze real-world attack paths, model adversary behavior, and help build the AI systems that will define the future of security. This role is focused on structured adversarial reasoning — not exploit development. You'll bring your red team instincts and attack knowledge to a unique challenge: teaching AI how threats actually unfold, where defenses break down, and how risk cascades through modern environments. Fully remote, flexible hours, and meaningful work at the frontier of AI.

• 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-like environments
• Identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in complex system architectures
• Review and evaluate red team scenarios, intrusion narratives, and threat models
• Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and benchmark AI systems
• Articulate attack chains, impact assessments, and risk tradeoffs in clear, structured formats
• Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments — 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 production environments — not just in theory
• You can clearly explain attack chains, adversary intent, and downstream impact to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Detail-oriented and systematic — you document your reasoning as rigorously as your findings
• Comfortable working independently without day-to-day oversight

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, or STRIDE
• Experience with threat modeling, adversary simulation, or purple team exercises
• Background in cloud security, network architecture, or enterprise environments
• Prior work in security research, CTF competitions, or technical writing
• Exposure to AI tools or data labeling workflows

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside the world's leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your life, not the other way around
• Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, high-impact projects
• Apply your offensive security expertise in a novel, intellectually engaging context
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
