Job Description

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

About The Role

Identity is at the core of most modern security failures — and we're looking for people 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 bring your real-world security expertise to shape how AI systems reason about identity risk, access control failures, and enterprise security design.

This is a remote, flexible contract role where your knowledge directly influences the quality and accuracy of next-generation AI.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • 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 privilege escalation paths
  • Classify permission issues and identity-related failures with structured, expert reasoning
  • Review zero-trust models and access design decisions for correctness and real-world applicability
  • Generate and validate realistic identity security scenarios used to train and evaluate AI systems
  • Provide clear, structured feedback that helps AI learn how IAM risk actually emerges and propagates in enterprise environments

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 and how attackers exploit them in practice
  • Able to think like both a defender and an adversary when evaluating access scenarios
  • Strong written communication — you can explain complex security concepts clearly
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on asynchronous tasks

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud IAM platforms (AWS IAM, Azure AD, Okta, etc.)
  • Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or access control audits
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST
  • Prior experience in AI evaluation or data annotation workflows

Why Join Us

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