About the Role

What if your deep knowledge of identity systems and access-control logic could directly strengthen the security posture of organizations at scale? We're looking for an experienced IAM Solutions Engineer to evaluate identity workflows, authentication mechanisms, and permission structures — identifying gaps, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement across complex environments.

What You'll Do

  • Review end-to-end identity workflows covering authentication and authorization logic
  • Analyze access-control policies for least-privilege alignment and misconfigurations
  • Validate SSO, MFA, federated identity, and directory integrations across platforms
  • Identify security gaps in privilege provisioning and identity lifecycle management
  • Document permission structures in clear, structured, and actionable formats
  • Surface improvement recommendations grounded in industry best practices

Who You Are

  • Must-Have:
    • Hands-on experience with IAM platforms, identity protocols, and access-control models
    • Strong understanding of authentication flows — SAML, OIDC, and OAuth
    • Ability to evaluate complex permission structures and translate findings into clear documentation
    • Methodical, detail-oriented approach with strong independent judgment
    • Comfortable working asynchronously and delivering quality work without close supervision
  • Nice to Have:
    • Experience designing or implementing enterprise IAM solutions
    • Familiarity with zero-trust architecture principles and deployment patterns
    • Background in security auditing, compliance frameworks, or identity governance

Why Join Us

  • Work on meaningful, high-impact security projects that directly influence real-world access controls
  • Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule
  • Freelance autonomy with the consistency of ongoing, structured engagements
  • Sharpen your expertise across diverse identity platforms and enterprise environments
  • Potential for extended and recurring contract work as new projects launch
