Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst
About this role
About the Role Identity sits at the heart of most modern security failures — and the next generation of AI systems needs to understand why. We're looking for experienced IAM professionals to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models by working through realistic enterprise identity and access scenarios. This is a unique opportunity to put your security expertise to work at the frontier of AI development, partnering with world-leading research labs to make AI smarter about how IAM risk actually emerges and propagates in real environments. - Organization: Alignerr - Type: Hourly Contract - Location: Remote - Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do - Analyze IAM, SSO, and access control scenarios to identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and failure points - Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related vulnerabilities - Review zero-trust architectures and access design decisions for correctness and risk - Generate and validate realistic identity security scenarios used to train and evaluate AI systems - Provide structured, expert-level feedback that directly shapes how AI reasons about enterprise security - Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule 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 in practice and how attackers exploit them - Able to think critically about access control design and articulate reasoning clearly - Detail-oriented and comfortable working through complex, realistic security scenarios - No prior AI experience required — your security knowledge is what matters Nice to Have - Experience with cloud identity platforms (Azure AD, Okta, AWS IAM, Google Cloud Identity) - Familiarity with zero-trust frameworks or PAM solutions - Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security architecture - Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST Why Join Us - Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs - Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world - Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration - Contribute to meaningful work that shapes how AI understands enterprise security - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
