Job summary

Alignerr Corp. is seeking an Offensive Security Analyst to analyze attack paths, model adversary behavior, and help build AI systems that reason about risk like seasoned security professionals.

This role emphasizes structured adversarial reasoning rather than exploit development and is fully remote on a flexible schedule. You will work asynchronously on task-based assignments, with 2+ years of hands-on pentesting, red teaming, or blue-team experience.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in pentesting, red teaming, or a blue-team role with deep offensive knowledge.
• Understand how real attacks unfold in production environments — not just in theory.
• Able to map a threat from initial access to impact and explain every step.

Responsibilities

• Analyze attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies across realistic environments.
• Identify misconfigurations, weaknesses, and gaps in defensive coverage.
• Review red-team scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy and completeness.
• Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train AI systems.

Job description

About The Role

What if your red-team instincts and adversarial thinking could directly influence how AI understands cybersecurity threats? We're looking for Offensive Security Analysts to analyze real-world attack paths, model adversary behavior, and help build AI systems that reason about risk the way the best security professionals do.

About The Role

What if your red-team instincts and adversarial thinking could directly influence how AI understands cybersecurity threats? We're looking for Offensive Security Analysts to analyze real-world attack paths, model adversary behavior, and help build AI systems that reason about risk the way the best security professionals do.

This role is focused on structured adversarial reasoning — not exploit development. You'll work with realistic attack scenarios, classify weaknesses, and produce the kind of high-signal security analysis that helps frontier AI models think more clearly about how threats actually unfold.

Fully remote and flexible. Work on your 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, production-style environments
• Identify misconfigurations, weaknesses, and gaps in defensive coverage
• Review red-team-style scenarios and intrusion narratives for accuracy and completeness
• Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate AI systems
• Clearly articulate attack chains, business impact, and risk tradeoffs in structured formats
• 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 offensive knowledge
• You understand how real attacks unfold in production environments — not just in theory
• You can map a threat from initial access to impact and explain every step along the way
• Strong written communicator — you can translate technical attack logic into clear, structured analysis
• Detail-oriented and methodical in your approach
• No exploit development or active intrusion required for this role

Nice to Have

• Experience with threat modeling frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, STRIDE, PASTA, etc.)
• Background in cloud security, Active Directory environments, or enterprise infrastructure
• Familiarity with intrusion detection, SOC operations, or incident response
• Prior experience producing security documentation, reports, or training content
• Exposure to AI tools or data labeling workflows

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Apply your offensive security expertise to a domain that's shaping the future of AI
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
