Job description

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

Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and also at the heart of most major breaches. We're looking for IAM professionals who understand how identity systems fail in the real world to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models being built by the world's leading AI research labs.

Your hands-on experience with access control, privilege management, and identity architecture will directly shape how AI reasons about security risk — making this one of the most impactful ways you can apply your expertise right now.

• 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 failure points
• Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related vulnerabilities
• 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 feedback that helps AI learn how IAM 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 workflows
• Familiar with how identity failures occur and how attackers exploit them in practice
• Detail-oriented and comfortable working through complex, multi-layered access scenarios
• Able to work independently and deliver structured, high-quality analysis

Nice to Have

• Experience with platforms like Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, or similar
• Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or identity threat modeling
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST
• Prior work in cloud security or DevSecOps environments

Why Join Us

• Work on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs and teams
• Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, on your own terms
• Freelance autonomy: no meetings, no micromanagement, task-based work that fits your life
• Contribute to AI development in a domain — cybersecurity — that genuinely matters
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects grow
