Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst
About this role
About the Role Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and it's one of the most complex domains for AI to reason about correctly. We're looking for experienced IAM professionals to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI systems by working through realistic identity and access scenarios. Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands privilege escalation, access control failures, zero-trust design, and the subtle ways identity systems break in the real world. This is a rare opportunity to apply deep security knowledge to frontier AI development — on your own schedule, fully remote. - 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 exploitable paths - Classify permission issues, privilege escalation risks, and identity-related failures with structured reasoning - Review zero-trust models and access design decisions for correctness and best practices - Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and evaluate AI systems - Provide clear, expert-level explanations that help 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 - 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 through complex access scenarios methodically and communicate findings clearly - Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments Nice to Have - Experience with platforms like Okta, Azure AD, Ping Identity, or SailPoint - Familiarity with cloud IAM (AWS IAM, GCP IAM, Azure RBAC) - Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security consulting - Knowledge of compliance frameworks like SOC 2, NIST, or ISO 27001 Why Join Us - Work directly on frontier AI systems with the world's leading AI research teams - Fully remote and flexible — work when and as much as you choose - Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community - Put your deep security knowledge to work in a high-impact, intellectually engaging way - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
