Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

$35-60/hrRemoteFreelanceSTEM

About the Role

Identity sits at the core of most modern security failures — and the AI systems of tomorrow need to understand exactly how and why. We're looking for experienced IAM professionals to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models by analyzing real-world identity and access scenarios.

At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build smarter, more security-aware AI. Your deep knowledge of how access control breaks down in enterprise environments will directly shape how AI reasons about IAM risk.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Analyze IAM, SSO, and access control scenarios to surface weaknesses and misconfigurations
  • Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related failures
  • Review zero-trust models and evaluate access design decisions for correctness and risk
  • Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and benchmark AI systems
  • Provide structured, expert-level feedback that helps AI understand how real-world IAM failures emerge and propagate

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 misconfigured access controls
  • Able to think analytically about complex permission structures and articulate findings clearly
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience with platforms like Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, or SailPoint
  • Familiarity with zero-trust architecture and modern identity frameworks
  • Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security consulting
  • Prior exposure to AI or data labeling workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems with top research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Meaningful impact: your expertise helps AI reason more accurately about real security risk
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
