Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and at the heart of most modern breaches. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. We're looking for IAM professionals who understand how identity systems fail in the real world and can help AI reason about those failures accurately.

This is a rare opportunity to take your hands-on security expertise beyond the enterprise and directly shape how next-generation AI understands access control, privilege escalation, and identity risk.

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

What You'll Do

• Analyze realistic IAM, SSO, and access control scenarios to identify weaknesses and misconfigurations
• Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related failure patterns
• Review zero-trust models and evaluate access design decisions for correctness and risk
• Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and evaluate AI systems
• Provide structured expert feedback that directly improves how AI reasons about enterprise identity risk

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience with IAM, SSO, or enterprise identity platforms
• Solid understanding of RBAC, least-privilege principles, and access review processes
• Familiar with how identity failures occur and how attackers exploit them in real environments
• Able to think analytically about complex access control scenarios and communicate findings clearly
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async, remote environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, or SailPoint
• Familiarity with identity threat models, zero-trust architecture, or PAM solutions
• Background in security engineering, cloud security, or penetration testing
• Prior experience contributing to AI training, red-teaming, or security research

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs worldwide
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Contribute to meaningful work that makes AI systems safer and more security-aware
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
