| Aspect | Freelance Ethical Hacker | Penetration Tester |
|---|---|---|
| Certifications | CEH, OSCP, CISSP | OSCP, GPEN, CREST |
| Work Environment | Independent, client-based projects | Often in consulting firms or in-house teams |
| Industry Usage | Freelancers or contractors across various industries | Security firms, corporate security teams |
Both roles focus on identifying security vulnerabilities, often requiring similar certifications. The main difference is that Freelance Ethical Hackers work independently on diverse client projects, while Penetration Testers may work within organizations or security firms, often following structured testing methodologies.

Alice.io (formerly known as ActiveFence) is a leading trust, safety, and security company. Just like ‘Alice’ herself, we go down the rabbit hole into the emerging world of AI and focus on safeguarding these technologies. In a world where AI has fundamentally changed the nature of risk, Alice offers coverage across the entire AI lifecycle.
We're currently on the ground floor of an exciting new initiative: building an "Elite Collective" of the world's premier cyber specialists—high-stakes, project-based work for the "best of the best" red-teamers in the industry.
Work is on-demand and project-dependent, scaling up and down based on the needs of the client. This is not a high-volume, repetitive role; it is an opportunity to be tapped for specific, high-impact interventions when your unique expertise is required.
The most sophisticated technology challenges in the world are waiting down the rabbit hole. We’re looking for the sharpest minds to help us secure the frontier.
The invitation is open: Come join us at the tea party.
About the position:
As one of Alice’s Security Red Team Specialists, you’ll focus on Generative AI Models. You will play a critical role in enhancing the security and integrity of our cutting-edge AI technologies.
Your primary responsibility will be to conduct analysis and testing of our generative AI systems, including but not limited to language models, image generation models, and any related infrastructure.
Your objective is to help clients secure their AI models and frameworks by identifying weaknesses, assessing risks, and providing clear steps for improvement.
