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
