Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

$35-60/hrRemoteFreelanceCODING

About the Role

Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and also at the heart of most major breaches. 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 being built by the world's leading AI research labs.

Your hands-on experience with access control, privilege management, and identity architecture will directly shape how AI reasons about security risk — making this one of the most impactful ways you can apply your expertise right now.

  • 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 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 workflows
  • Familiar with how identity failures occur and how attackers exploit them in practice
  • Detail-oriented and comfortable working through complex, multi-layered access scenarios
  • Able to work independently and deliver structured, high-quality analysis

Nice to Have

  • Experience with platforms like Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, or similar
  • Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or identity threat modeling
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST
  • Prior work in cloud security or DevSecOps environments

Why Join Us

  • Work on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs and teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, on your own terms
  • Freelance autonomy: no meetings, no micromanagement, task-based work that fits your life
  • Contribute to AI development in a domain — cybersecurity — that genuinely matters
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects grow
