Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst
About this role
About the Role Identity sits at the core of most modern security failures — and the next generation of AI needs to understand exactly how and why. We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build models that reason about real-world enterprise security, and we need IAM professionals who can bring that expertise to life. If you've spent time working with identity platforms, diagnosing access control failures, or designing least-privilege architectures, this is your opportunity to put that knowledge to work on something genuinely cutting-edge. - 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, misconfigurations, and privilege escalation paths - Classify permission issues and identity-related failures with structured, expert reasoning - Review zero-trust models and evaluate access design decisions for security gaps - Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and benchmark AI systems - Help AI understand how identity risk actually emerges and propagates in enterprise environments 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 the real world — and how attackers exploit them - Detail-oriented, systematic, and able to communicate complex security concepts clearly in writing - Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on async, task-based assignments Nice to Have - Experience with cloud identity platforms (Azure AD, AWS IAM, Okta, etc.) - Background in security architecture, access governance, or identity threat modeling - Familiarity with frameworks like NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, or Zero Trust architectures - Prior experience contributing to AI training, red teaming, or security research Why Join Us - Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside world-class research teams - Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere - Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration - Contribute to meaningful work that makes AI safer and more security-aware - Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
