Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst (AI Training)

About The Role

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.

• 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 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
  
  

Who You Are

• 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
  
  

Nice to Have

• 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
