About the Role
Identity is at the heart of modern security failures — and we're looking for people who truly understand how and 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, your real-world expertise will directly shape how AI reasons about identity risk, access control failures, and enterprise security vulnerabilities.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. Work on your own schedule, contribute at your own pace, and make a measurable impact on the future of AI security reasoning.
- 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 risk patterns
- Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related failure modes
- Review zero-trust models and evaluate access design decisions for correctness and security posture
- Generate and validate realistic identity security scenarios used to train and evaluate frontier AI systems
- Provide structured, expert feedback that helps AI learn how IAM risk actually emerges and propagates in real 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
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to think like both a defender and an attacker
- Clear written communication skills — you can explain complex security concepts precisely
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments
Nice to Have
- Experience with platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, or SailPoint
- Familiarity with identity governance and privileged access management (PAM)
- Background in cloud security, penetration testing, or security architecture
- Prior experience contributing to AI training, red teaming, or security research
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
- Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where you want
- Freelance perks: autonomy, flexibility, and global collaboration
- Contribute to meaningful work at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
