Offensive Security Analyst (Structured / Non-Exploit)

Summary

Alignerr is seeking experienced offensive security professionals to shape how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity threats. The role involves analyzing real-world attack paths and modeling adversarial behavior to help build training data for next-generation AI systems.

Responsibilities

• Analyze attack paths, kill chains, and adversary strategies across realistic production-like environments
• Identify and classify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and defensive gaps
• 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, impact assessments, and security tradeoffs in structured formats
• Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments — fully on your own schedule

Skills

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in pentesting, red teaming, or a blue-team role with deep attack knowledge
• Strong understanding of how real attacks unfold in production environments — from initial access to impact
• Able to think through attacker decision-making, lateral movement, and persistence techniques
• Clear communicator who can break down complex attack chains into precise, structured explanations
• Detail-oriented and methodical — you care about getting the analysis right
• Familiarity with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, or STRIDE
• Experience writing threat models, red team reports, or security assessments
• Background in threat intelligence, incident response, or adversary emulation
• Exposure to cloud, OT/ICS, or enterprise network security environments
• Prior experience contributing to AI or data labeling projects
