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

About The Role
Identity is at the heart of modern enterprise security — and when it breaks, the consequences are severe. We're looking for IAM professionals who deeply understand how identity systems fail in the real world to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models being developed by leading AI research labs. Your expertise in access control, privilege escalation, and zero-trust architecture will directly shape how AI reasons about enterprise security risk. This is a unique opportunity to apply your security knowledge at the frontier of AI development.
