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

About The Role

Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and increasingly, it's at the heart of how AI learns to reason about risk. We're looking for experienced IAM professionals to work with realistic identity and access scenarios, helping ensure that frontier AI systems understand how access control failures actually occur in the real world. This is a unique opportunity to apply deep security expertise to cutting-edge AI development, working remotely on your own schedule.

• 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 risk patterns


• Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related failures with precision


• Review zero-trust architectures and evaluate access design decisions


• Generate and validate realistic identity security scenarios used to train and evaluate AI systems


• Provide structured, expert feedback that directly shapes how AI reasons about enterprise security

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


• Familiarity with how identity failures emerge and how attackers exploit them


• Analytical mindset with strong written communication skills


• Able to work independently and deliver consistent, high-quality assessments

Nice to Have

• Experience with platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, SailPoint, or CyberArk


• Background in security operations, penetration testing, or cloud IAM


• Familiarity with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside leading AI research teams


• Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your life


• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community


• Make a meaningful contribution to how AI understands and reasons about real-world security


• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
