Role
Who you are
- We're a startup that values ownership, curiosity, and trust, and we're looking for engineers who love building platform infrastructure that enables teams to move faster while improving resilience and visibility
- Strong experience as a backend or platform engineer, building production data pipelines that other teams depend on using Dagster, Airflow, or comparable orchestration, with sharp instincts for correctness, idempotency, retries, and operational visibility in systems that hundreds of third-party integrations flow through
- Proficiency in one or more modern backend languages (Python, Go, or TypeScript), with a focus on clean API design, testability, and observability
- A strong instinct for data correctness, SLOs, and shift-left detection in systems where downstream products act on the output, catching a partial failure at 20% beats a customer report at 100%
- Experience with circuit breakers, self-healing systems, and operational rigor in business-critical, high-volume pipelines
- Familiarity with identity and access governance (IGA) data (identities, accounts, entitlements, group memberships) and how its correctness, freshness, and traceability shape downstream governance outcomes at scale
What the job involves
- Lumos is making it a joy for companies to manage their apps and identities ✨. By integrating usage, spend, compliance, and access data, we provide a level of clarity and insight previously unimaginable. At the heart of our products is our identity data platform, the systems that ingest identity data from hundreds of third-party integrations and turn it into the trusted, insight-rich primitives that power every Lumos product
- As a Software Engineer on our Identity Platform team, you will drive the evolution of our identity data backbone, the systems every Lumos product depends on. You'll lead projects like our Sync Observability MVP work, closing the internal monitoring gaps in our Dagster-orchestrated identity sync pipeline so the team catches failures before customers report them, building robust, scalable, and reliable platform software that operators can trust
- Design and implement core components of our identity sync pipeline, including the ingestion, transform, validation, and install stages that turn raw identity data into a trusted foundation other products depend on
- Build and extend our sync observability framework, enabling reusable patterns for monitoring, alerting, failure detection, and operational tooling across a high-volume, integration-driven pipeline
- Work across teams to close monitoring and reliability gaps, catching sync failures and stalled jobs before they reach customers
- Contribute to a strong operational foundation by building the safety nets, circuit breakers, and self-healing reconciliation that keep identity data trustworthy at scale
- Drive key technical decisions and lead by example, through architecture reviews, mentoring, and pairing with other engineers on complex sync and correctness problems
- Champion resilience, observability, and scalability in every layer of the identity sync stack
Our take
Modern companies leverage many different SaaS platforms to provide their staff with the tools they need to stay productive, but managing this can be a convoluted process. It can be complicated to govern software permissions, compliance and licenses for so many employees, with most businesses relying on expensive, time-consuming, and manual SaaS management workflows.
Lumos provides a unified employee identity platform and company app store, allowing businesses to manage their SaaS licenses and permissions in one place. The platform supercharges productivity by doing away with the need for manual permissions approvals, automating the process to save time while ensuring compliance.
Most businesses already have SaaS management systems in place, but Lumos has the potential to disrupt the market through its unified, self-serve approach. The company has raised significant funding over the years, the latest of which is being channelled into expanding the app. It has achieved impressive growth in between its fundraising, a trend that is only set to increase.
