Identity & Access Management (IAM) Analyst

About the Role

Identity is at the core of most modern security failures — and the AI systems of tomorrow need to understand exactly how and why. We're looking for experienced IAM professionals to work alongside world-leading AI research teams, bringing real-world expertise to scenarios that matter.

What You'll Do

• Analyze IAM, SSO, and access control scenarios to identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and attack paths
• Classify permission issues, privilege escalation vectors, and identity-related failures
• Review zero-trust models and access design decisions for correctness and risk exposure
• Generate and validate realistic identity security data used to train and evaluate AI systems
• Provide structured, expert feedback on how AI reasons about enterprise identity risk

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
• Analytical and detail-oriented — able to spot subtle misconfigurations and policy gaps
• Clear written communicator who can explain complex security concepts concisely
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in an async, remote setting

Nice to Have

• Experience with platforms like Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, or similar enterprise identity tools
• Familiarity with frameworks such as NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, or zero-trust architecture
• Background in security engineering, cloud security, or identity governance
• Prior experience in AI data annotation or evaluation workflows

Why Join Us

• Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs and teams
• Fully remote and flexible — complete tasks on your own schedule
• Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and collaboration with a global community of experts
• Meaningful work that puts your real-world security knowledge to use in a novel, high-impact way
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
