About this Role
What You'll Do
- Analyze exploitation chains, privilege-escalation paths, and attack surfaces across a range of threat scenarios
- Evaluate threat-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) with precision and depth
- Identify systemic weaknesses that enable adversary exploitation
- Produce clear, structured written assessments of adversary behaviors and operational patterns
- Validate detection logic and challenge defensive assumptions
- Support recurring reviews of threat-intelligence datasets and simulation outputs
About the Role
What if your offensive security expertise could directly influence how AI systems understand and reason about cyber threats? We're looking for an Adversary Exploitation Lead to dig deep into threat-actor behaviors, map exploitation chains, and produce sharp, structured assessments of real-world adversary activity. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for cybersecurity professionals who think like attackers. If you live and breathe TTPs, privilege escalation, and adversary tradecraft — this is your kind of work.
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: Flexible, task-based
Who You Are
- Experienced in cybersecurity, offensive security, or threat intelligence — you know how attackers think
- Deep understanding of exploit development and adversary tradecraft
- Strong analytical writer who can translate complex findings into structured, actionable documentation
- Detail-oriented and systematic — you don't miss what others overlook
- Comfortable working independently and delivering quality output without hand-holding
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK framework
- Background in red-team operations or penetration testing
- Experience with malware analysis or reverse engineering
- Prior work in threat intelligence, incident response, or vulnerability research
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI and cybersecurity projects alongside leading research teams
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact work
- Apply your offensive security expertise to projects that directly shape how AI reasons about real-world threats
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
Requirements
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
- Demonstrated expertise in Writing

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the assessment actually like?
Notoriously strict. Alignerr uses TestGorilla for role-specific timed tests — a blank coding environment for engineers, rigorous grammar and fact-checking for writers. There is almost no hand-holding. The critical catch: this is essentially a one-shot process. Fail or abandon the assessment, and you are typically locked out of that role permanently with no option to retake.
How quickly can I start earning after I pass?
Not immediately. Even after passing the assessment and completing identity verification (via Persona) and billing setup (via Deel), you may sit in a waiting pool for weeks or months. You only start earning when a project matching your specific skills launches and you are officially assigned. Do not plan around Alignerr income until you are actively on a project.
Is there a community?
Yes — and it is one of Alignerr's genuine strengths. Once assigned to a project, you are added to Slack channels where you can ask questions, get rubric clarifications from admins, and talk to other AI trainers. This is rare in AI training and makes a real difference when guidelines are ambiguous or change mid-project.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
What is the barrier to entry?
Alignerr is known for difficult technical assessments. You must pass a timed test in your specific domain (e.g., Python, Physics, or Language) before you are eligible for any paid projects.
