Job description

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

Identity sits at the heart of modern enterprise security — and when it breaks, the consequences are serious. We're looking for IAM professionals who understand how and why identity systems fail in the real world, and who want to put that knowledge to work on something genuinely meaningful.

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more capable AI systems. As an IAM Analyst, you'll work with realistic identity and access scenarios to help AI models reason accurately about how security risks emerge, propagate, and can be mitigated.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — work on your schedule, on your terms.
