Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

$35-60/hrRemoteFreelanceCODING

About the Role

Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and when it breaks, the consequences are severe. We're looking for IAM professionals who understand how identity systems fail in the real world to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models built by the world's leading AI research labs.

Your expertise in access control, privilege escalation, and zero-trust architecture will directly shape how AI reasons about enterprise security risk. This is a rare opportunity to apply deep technical knowledge to a high-impact, fully remote contract role.

  • 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 failure points
  • Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related vulnerabilities
  • Review zero-trust models and evaluate access design decisions for correctness and risk
  • Generate and validate realistic identity security scenarios used to train and benchmark AI systems
  • Provide structured, expert 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
  • Able to think analytically about complex access control scenarios and communicate findings clearly
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on asynchronous, task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with platforms like Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, or similar
  • Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security architecture
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST
  • Prior experience contributing to AI training or evaluation projects

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs and teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, on your own terms
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with experts around the world
  • Apply your security expertise to a domain that's actively shaping the future of AI
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
