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.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for seasoned IAM professionals who can work independently, think critically, and deliver clear, actionable findings.

  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Schedule: Flexible --- work on your own terms

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
  • Support recurring IAM reviews across multiple identity platforms and environments
  • Surface improvement recommendations grounded in industry best practices

Must-Have

Who You Are

  • 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
