Our Mission
Reflection is a research lab making intelligence open and accessible for everyone to use, customize, and build on. We build open models that let anyone control their intelligence and help shape the future of AI. Our mission: make intelligence open and accessible to all.
Role Overview
The Head of Identity and Access Management is responsible for architecting, building, and operating Reflection’s identity infrastructure — the foundational security layer in an environment where the perimeter is entirely identity-based and the threat model includes sophisticated, highly motivated nation-state actors targeting intellectual property, training pipelines, and model weights.
This leader will design and operate a bleeding-edge, zero-trust identity architecture that treats identity as software, eliminates static credentials, and protects Reflection’s researchers and massive-scale compute environments without introducing friction.
This is not a traditional enterprise IAM or Active Directory management role. The ideal candidate is a security architect and software engineer in equal measure — capable of mandating hardware-backed phishing-resistant authentication globally, building just-in-time credentialing systems for GPU cluster access, and engineering dynamic, context-aware authorization pipelines that hold up against the most advanced adversary techniques.
They bring first-principles cryptographic depth, cloud-native mastery, and the software engineering capability to build custom tooling where commercial solutions fall short.
This is a high-stakes, high-visibility role at the center of Reflection’s security posture. Success requires the ability to build identity infrastructure that is simultaneously state-of-the-art in its security guarantees and genuinely developer-friendly in its design — because at Reflection, security that slows down a researcher is security that has failed.
We believe that to make intelligence open and accessible to all, you need to start at the foundation. Joining Reflection means building from the ground up as part of a talent-dense team. You will help define our future as a company, and help define the future of open foundational models.
We want you to do the most impactful work of your career with the confidence that you and the people you care about most are supported.
Salary and equity structured to recognize and retain our talent globally.
Everyone who joins and contributes to Reflection's success gets to share in the upside through stock options.
Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life, with an annual wellness allowance.
Lunch and dinner are provided in the office daily.
22 weeks paid parental leave for all new birthing and non-birthing parents, including adoptive and surrogate journeys.
Unlimited paid time off in the U.S. and 30 days in the U.K.
We sponsor visas to help exceptional talent join our team and support long-term immigration pathways where applicable.
We have regular off-sites, happy hours, and team celebrations.
