Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst
About this role
About the Role Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and when it breaks, the consequences are severe. We're looking for IAM professionals who deeply understand how identity systems fail in the real world to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models being developed by leading AI research labs. Your expertise in access control, privilege escalation, and zero-trust architecture will directly shape how AI reasons about enterprise security risk. This is a unique opportunity to apply your security knowledge at the frontier of AI development. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Fully Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Analyze realistic IAM, SSO, and access control scenarios to identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and attack paths - Classify permission issues, privilege escalation vectors, and identity-related security failures - Review zero-trust models and evaluate access design decisions for correctness and risk - Generate and validate realistic identity security scenarios used to train and benchmark AI systems - Provide structured, expert-level feedback that helps AI learn how IAM risk actually emerges and propagates Who You Are - 2+ years of hands-on experience with IAM, SSO, or enterprise identity platforms (e.g., Okta, Azure AD, Ping, CyberArk) - Solid understanding of RBAC, least-privilege principles, and access review processes - Familiar with how identity failures occur in practice and how attackers exploit them - Able to think analytically and communicate security concepts clearly in writing - Self-directed and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments Nice to Have - Experience with cloud identity platforms (AWS IAM, GCP IAM, Azure RBAC) - Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security architecture - Familiarity with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST - Prior experience contributing to AI training or data annotation projects Why Join Us - Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside world-class research teams - Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work at your own pace - Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work - Contribute to AI that better understands real-world cybersecurity challenges - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension based on performance
