Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

$35-60/hrRemoteFreelanceSTEM

About the Role

Identity is at the core of most modern enterprise security failures — and the AI systems of tomorrow need to understand why. We're partnering with leading AI research labs to find IAM specialists who can help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models on real-world identity and access security scenarios.

If you've spent time in the trenches of enterprise identity — debugging SSO misconfigurations, reviewing access control policies, or mapping privilege escalation paths — your expertise is exactly what's needed to make AI smarter about security.

  • 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, misconfigurations, and exploitable paths
  • Classify permission issues, privilege escalation vectors, and identity-related failures with precision
  • Evaluate zero-trust models and access design decisions for correctness and risk
  • Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and benchmark AI systems
  • Provide structured expert feedback that directly shapes how AI reasons about enterprise security

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 in real environments and how attackers exploit them
  • Able to articulate complex security concepts clearly in writing
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with identity platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, Ping, or similar
  • Background in cloud IAM (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Familiarity with zero-trust architecture frameworks
  • Prior experience in security consulting, red teaming, or access governance

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top-tier research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your schedule, from anywhere
  • Freelance autonomy with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
  • Contribute to AI that understands enterprise security the way real practitioners do
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
