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.

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
