Job description

Offensive Security Analyst (Structured / Non-Exploit) — AI Training

About The Role

What if your offensive security instincts could directly shape how AI understands and reasons about real-world threats? We're looking for experienced security professionals to analyze adversarial attack paths, model threat behavior, and help build the next generation of AI systems that understand cybersecurity at a deep, practical level. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — no exploit development required. You'll bring your red team mindset to structured adversarial reasoning: mapping how attacks unfold, where defenses break down, and how risk spreads across modern environments.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Analyze real-world attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies across a range of modern environments
• Classify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in realistic system scenarios
• Review and evaluate red team-style scenarios and intrusion narratives for technical accuracy and depth
• Generate, label, and validate adversarial reasoning data used to train and evaluate frontier AI systems
• Articulate how attacks unfold, what impact they create, and what tradeoffs defenders face — in clear, structured language
• Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments at your own pace

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 actually unfold in production environments — not just in theory
• Able to clearly explain attack chains, attacker objectives, and defensive implications to a technical audience
• Naturally systematic and detail-oriented — you think in adversary mindsets and can map threat behavior end-to-end
• Strong written communicator who can translate complex technical concepts into structured, accessible analysis
• Comfortable working independently without close supervision

Nice to Have

• Experience with MITRE ATT&CK, threat modeling frameworks, or structured kill-chain analysis
• Background in threat intelligence, incident response, or security architecture
• Familiarity with cloud environments, Active Directory, or network security concepts
• Prior work annotating, labeling, or evaluating technical content
• Interest in AI safety, AI security, or how AI systems reason about complex domains

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading AI research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule
• Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
• Apply your offensive security expertise to a genuinely novel and high-impact domain
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
