Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

Identity is at the core of most modern security failures — and we need experts who understand exactly why. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research teams to build and train cutting-edge AI models. We're looking for experienced IAM professionals to help ensure AI systems genuinely understand how identity risk emerges, propagates, and gets exploited in real enterprise environments.

Your domain expertise will directly shape how the next generation of AI reasons about access control, privilege escalation, and zero-trust security design.

Analyze realistic IAM, SSO, and access control scenarios to identify weaknesses and misconfigurations

Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related security failures

Review zero-trust architecture models and evaluate access design decisions

Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and evaluate AI systems

Provide structured expert feedback that helps AI reason more accurately about enterprise security risk

2+ years of hands-on experience with IAM, SSO, or enterprise identity platforms

Strong familiarity with RBAC, least-privilege principles, and access review processes

Clear understanding of how identity failures occur and how attackers exploit them

Ability to think like both a defender and an attacker when assessing access scenarios

Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and comfortable working asynchronously

Experience with platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, or SailPoint

Familiarity with cloud identity architectures and federated identity systems

Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security auditing

Certifications such as CISSP, CIAM, or relevant cloud security credentials

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

Contribute to meaningful work at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI

Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
