Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst at Alignerr, Remote, £Hourly Rate

Contract Description

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

About The Role

Identity sits at the core of most modern security failures — and the next generation of AI needs to understand exactly how and why. We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build models that reason about real-world enterprise security, and we need IAM professionals who can bring that expertise to life.

If you've spent time working with identity platforms, diagnosing access control failures, or designing least-privilege architectures, this is your opportunity to put that knowledge to work on something genuinely cutting-edge.

  • 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 privilege escalation paths
  • Classify permission issues and identity-related failures with structured, expert reasoning
  • Review zero-trust models and evaluate access design decisions for security gaps
  • Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and benchmark AI systems
  • Help AI understand how identity 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 processes
  • Familiar with how identity failures occur in the real world — and how attackers exploit them
  • Detail-oriented, systematic, and able to communicate complex security concepts clearly in writing
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on async, task-based assignments

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud identity platforms (Azure AD, AWS IAM, Okta, etc.)
  • Background in security architecture, access governance, or identity threat modeling
  • Familiarity with frameworks like NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, or Zero Trust architectures
  • Prior experience contributing to AI training, red teaming, or security research

Why Join Us

  • Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside world-class research teams
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Contribute to meaningful work that makes AI safer and more security-aware
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
