Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst (AI Training)
About the Role
Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and when it breaks, the consequences are serious. We're looking for IAM professionals who deeply understand how identity systems fail in the real world and can help teach AI to reason about those failures accurately.
At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. As an IAM Analyst, your hands-on security expertise will directly shape how AI understands access control risks, privilege escalation, and identity-related vulnerabilities. This is your chance to apply deep domain knowledge in a novel, high-impact way — without leaving your home.
- 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, gaps, and misconfigurations
- Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related failure patterns
- Review zero-trust architectures 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 helps AI reason accurately about IAM risk
Who You Are
- 2+ years of hands-on experience with IAM, SSO, or enterprise identity platforms
- Strong understanding of RBAC, least-privilege models, and access review processes
- Clear grasp of how identity failures occur and how attackers exploit them in practice
- Detail-oriented, analytical, and comfortable working independently
- Able to communicate technical findings clearly in written form
Nice to Have
- Experience with identity platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, Ping, or SailPoint
- Familiarity with SAML, OAuth, or OpenID Connect
- Background in cloud IAM (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Security certifications such as CISSP, CIAM, or similar
Why Join Us
- Work on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs and teams
- Fully remote and asynchronous — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Put your deep security expertise to use in a meaningful and novel way
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects grow
