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 the AI systems of tomorrow need to understand that deeply. We're partnering with leading AI research labs to find IAM professionals who can help train and evaluate AI models to reason accurately about enterprise identity security.

If you understand how SSO breaks, where privilege escalation hides, and why least-privilege is harder than it sounds, your expertise has real value here.

• 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
• Review zero-trust models and evaluate 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 shapes how AI understands enterprise security

Who You Are

• 2+ years of hands-on experience with IAM, SSO, or enterprise identity platforms
• Strong familiarity with RBAC, least-privilege models, and access review processes
• Solid understanding of how identity failures occur and how attackers exploit them
• Ability to clearly explain complex security reasoning in writing
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on asynchronous tasks

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud identity platforms (Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, etc.)
• Familiarity with zero-trust architecture principles
• Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security auditing
• Prior experience with AI evaluation or data annotation workflows

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — set your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
• Your security knowledge shapes how AI reasons about real-world risk
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
