Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

$35-60/hr Remote Freelance CODING

About the Role

Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and it's one of the most complex domains for AI to reason about correctly. We're looking for experienced IAM professionals to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI systems by working through realistic identity and access scenarios.

Your expertise will directly shape how AI understands privilege escalation, access control failures, zero-trust design, and the subtle ways identity systems break in the real world. This is a rare opportunity to apply deep security knowledge to frontier AI development — on your own schedule, fully remote.

• 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 exploitable paths
• Classify permission issues, privilege escalation risks, and identity-related failures with structured reasoning
• Review zero-trust models and access design decisions for correctness and best practices
• Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and evaluate AI systems
• Provide clear, expert-level explanations that help AI learn how IAM risk actually emerges and propagates

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 in real environments
• Able to think through complex access scenarios methodically and communicate findings clearly
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on task-based assignments

Nice to Have

• Experience with platforms like Okta, Azure AD, Ping Identity, or SailPoint
• Familiarity with cloud IAM (AWS IAM, GCP IAM, Azure RBAC)
• Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security consulting
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks like SOC 2, NIST, or ISO 27001

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems with the world's leading AI research teams
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and as much as you choose
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global expert community
• Put your deep security knowledge to work in a high-impact, intellectually engaging way
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
