Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

$35-60/hrRemoteFreelanceSTEM

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 deeply understand how identity systems fail in the real world to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models being developed by 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 unique opportunity to apply your security knowledge at the frontier of AI development.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Fully Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Analyze realistic IAM, SSO, and access control scenarios to identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and attack paths
  • Classify permission issues, privilege escalation vectors, and identity-related security failures
  • 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-level feedback that helps AI learn how IAM risk actually emerges and propagates

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with IAM, SSO, or enterprise identity platforms (e.g., Okta, Azure AD, Ping, CyberArk)
  • Solid understanding of RBAC, least-privilege principles, and access review processes
  • Familiar with how identity failures occur in practice and how attackers exploit them
  • Able to think analytically and communicate security concepts clearly in writing
  • Self-directed and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud identity platforms (AWS IAM, GCP IAM, Azure RBAC)
  • Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security architecture
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST
  • Prior experience contributing to AI training or data annotation projects

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside world-class research teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — set your own hours and work at your own pace
  • Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
  • Contribute to AI that better understands real-world cybersecurity challenges
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension based on performance
