Company mission
To help organizations to become secure, compliant and productive.
Role
Who you are
- 1+ years of professional backend or platform engineering experience building production systems other teams depend on, such as ingestion, sync, or event-driven pipelines
- Strong backend fundamentals. You’ve built APIs (REST or gRPC) and services backed by relational databases like Postgres or MySQL, and you’ve evolved schemas on live tables. Our stack is Python, Postgres and Kafka on AWS
- You care about correctness. You think about idempotency, ordering, retries vs. permanent failures, and dead-letter handling, because downstream products take action on the data you produce
- You operate what you ship. You’ve deployed containerized services to AWS, GCP or Azure, debugged from metrics, traces and logs, and been part of an on-call rotation
- You’re excited to build from the ground up. This is a greenfield team, and the systems you build become the foundation every other Lumos product runs on
- Nice to have: Kafka, Temporal or change data capture (Debezium), Terraform, and familiarity with identity data like accounts, entitlements, service accounts and API keys
What the job involves
- You'll ship work that thousands of IT and security teams touch every day. You'll own problems without playbooks, because the category is being redefined in real time — by us
- As a Software Engineer on our NHI Platform team you will drive the evolution of our non-human identity data backbone, the systems every Lumos product depends on
- You will be instrumental in building robust, scalable, and reliable platform software
- You will play a key role in designing and operating the software that turns raw identity inputs into a trusted foundation for the product
- 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
- Design, develop, and operate systems that transform high volumes of identity data from third-party integrations to product consumers with correctness, freshness, and operational rigor
- Contribute to the technical vision for a world-class data infrastructure that empowers engineering, product, and AI teams, enabling seamless access to high-quality data
- Establish SLOs, observability, and operational tooling that catch and remediate failures in identity data systems before they reach customers
- Promote and implement software engineering best practices for building scalable, reliable, and secure data-centric applications. Elevate the principles of software engineering within the data domain
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.
