Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

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

About The Role

Identity is at the core of most modern security failures — and we need experts who truly understand why. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. As an IAM Analyst, you'll apply your real-world security knowledge to help AI systems reason accurately about identity risk, access control failures, and enterprise security architecture.

This is a rare opportunity to put your IAM expertise to work on something that matters at a global scale — shaping how the next generation of AI thinks about security.

• 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 and misconfigurations
• Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related failures
• Evaluate zero-trust models and access design decisions for correctness and risk
• Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and evaluate AI systems
• Provide structured, expert feedback that directly improves AI reasoning on security topics
• Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

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 real environments and how attackers exploit them
• Able to think like both a defender and an attacker when evaluating access scenarios
• Detail-oriented with strong written communication skills
• No prior AI experience required — your security expertise is what matters

Nice to Have

• Experience with platforms like Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, or similar
• Familiarity with SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, or PAM solutions
• Background in cloud security, penetration testing, or security architecture
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, NIST, or ISO 27001

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where you want
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Contribute to AI that genuinely understands enterprise security
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
