Offensive Security Analyst (Structured / Non-Exploit)

Phoenix

**About The Role** What if your instinct for how attacks unfold --- how adversaries move, where defenses crack, and how risk cascades across modern infrastructure --- could directly shape the AI systems that millions of people and organizations will rely on for security? We're looking for Offensive Security Analysts to bring real-world adversarial thinking to cutting-edge AI training projects. This role is focused on **structured adversarial reasoning** , not exploit development. You'll analyze realistic attack scenarios, model threat behavior, and help build the adversarial reasoning datasets that make AI smarter about security. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role --- designed for experienced security practitioners who want meaningful, intellectually engaging 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 production environments * Identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps in complex system architectures * 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 * Articulate how real attacks unfold --- including impact, tradeoffs, and defender blind spots --- in clear, structured formats * Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments at your own pace **Who You Are** * 2 years of hands-on experience in pentesting, red team operations, or a blue-team role with deep offensive knowledge * Strong mental model of how real attacks progress through production environments --- from initial access to impact * Able to clearly explain attack chains, attacker decision-making, and risk tradeoffs in writing * Detail-oriented and systematic --- you can structure complex threat reasoning into clear, consistent outputs * No exploit development or active offensive tooling required for this role **Nice to Have** * Experience with threat modeling, adversary emulation, or attack simulation frameworks (e.g., MITRE ATT\&CK) * Background in cloud security, Active Directory environments, or network architecture * Familiarity with red team reporting or intrusion narrative documentation * Prior experience contributing to security research, CTFs, or structured scenario analysis **Why Join Us** * Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading AI research teams and labs * Fully remote and flexible --- work when and where it suits you * Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work * Apply your security expertise in a novel, high-impact domain at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity * Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
