About this Role
What You'll Do
- Analyze IAM, SSO, and access control scenarios to identify weaknesses, misconfigurations, and failure points
- Classify permission issues, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related vulnerabilities
- Review zero-trust architectures and access design decisions for correctness and risk
- Generate and validate realistic identity security scenarios used to train and evaluate AI systems
- Provide structured, expert-level feedback that directly shapes how AI reasons about enterprise security
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
About the Role
Identity sits at the heart of most modern security failures — and the next generation of AI systems needs to understand why. We're looking for experienced IAM professionals to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models by working through realistic enterprise identity and access scenarios. This is a unique opportunity to put your security expertise to work at the frontier of AI development, partnering with world-leading research labs to make AI smarter about how IAM risk actually emerges and propagates in real environments.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
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 practice and how attackers exploit them
- Able to think critically about access control design and articulate reasoning clearly
- Detail-oriented and comfortable working through complex, realistic security scenarios
- No prior AI experience required — your security knowledge is what matters
Nice to Have
- Experience with cloud identity platforms (Azure AD, Okta, AWS IAM, Google Cloud Identity)
- Familiarity with zero-trust frameworks or PAM solutions
- Background in penetration testing, red teaming, or security architecture
- Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST
Why Join Us
- Work directly on frontier AI systems alongside top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule, anywhere in the world
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Contribute to meaningful work that shapes how AI understands enterprise security
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
Requirements
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the assessment actually like?
Notoriously strict. Alignerr uses TestGorilla for role-specific timed tests — a blank coding environment for engineers, rigorous grammar and fact-checking for writers. There is almost no hand-holding. The critical catch: this is essentially a one-shot process. Fail or abandon the assessment, and you are typically locked out of that role permanently with no option to retake.
How quickly can I start earning after I pass?
Not immediately. Even after passing the assessment and completing identity verification (via Persona) and billing setup (via Deel), you may sit in a waiting pool for weeks or months. You only start earning when a project matching your specific skills launches and you are officially assigned. Do not plan around Alignerr income until you are actively on a project.
Is there a community?
Yes — and it is one of Alignerr's genuine strengths. Once assigned to a project, you are added to Slack channels where you can ask questions, get rubric clarifications from admins, and talk to other AI trainers. This is rare in AI training and makes a real difference when guidelines are ambiguous or change mid-project.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
What is the barrier to entry?
Alignerr is known for difficult technical assessments. You must pass a timed test in your specific domain (e.g., Python, Physics, or Language) before you are eligible for any paid projects.
