$35-60/hrRemoteFreelanceSTEM

About the Role

Identity sits 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 teams to build and train cutting-edge AI models. Your deep knowledge of IAM, SSO, and access control will directly shape how AI systems reason about real-world enterprise security risks.

This is a unique opportunity to put your security expertise to work on one of the most important technology challenges of our time.

  • 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 patterns
  • 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 data used to train and evaluate AI systems
  • Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI understand 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 models, and access review processes
  • Familiar with how identity failures occur in real environments and how attackers exploit them
  • Able to communicate technical findings clearly and systematically
  • Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud identity platforms (AWS IAM, Azure AD, Okta, etc.)
  • Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security auditing
  • Familiarity with SCIM, OAuth, SAML, or directory services
  • Prior work on AI training, data labeling, or security research

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Make a meaningful impact on how AI understands and reasons about cybersecurity
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
