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're looking for people who truly understand why. At Alignerr, we partner with the world's leading AI research labs to build and train cutting-edge AI models. As an IAM Analyst, you'll bring your real-world security expertise to shape how AI systems reason about identity risk, access control failures, and enterprise security design.
This is a remote, flexible contract role where your knowledge directly influences the quality and accuracy of next-generation AI.
