- For example, authentication flows and authorization frameworks, secrets management
- Strong backend development skills (Python and TypeScript knowledge is a strong plus)
- Experience with threat modeling, red teaming, penetration testing, or other means of identifying security issues
- Experience in AWS platforms and services (we will also consider equivalent experience in Azure and GCP)
- Experience securely developing and applying Infrastructure as Code solutions
- Experience at growth-stage startups is a strong plus
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 is a plus

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help lead the design and development of our Security Platform—the foundation that enables secure and scalable identity governance at Lumos
- In this role, you’ll build and evolve core security systems that protect customer data, enable enterprise trust, and empower product teams to move fast with confidence
- You’ll work across engineering, product, and platform teams to design secure-by-default primitives such as authentication and authorization flows, secrets management, privileged access controls, encryption systems, audit logging, and security monitoring pipelines
- Your work will shape how both internal teams and enterprise customers experience security—embedded seamlessly, operating reliably, and built with care
- We’re a startup that values ownership, curiosity, and trust—and we’re looking for engineers who thrive on building foundational security systems that others build upon
- Contribute meaningfully to the Lumos code base. Some prior projects include:
- Designing a secure proxy service for brokering customer integration credentials
- Building a SCIM server so Lumos can respond immediately to user and group updates in a customer’s Identity Provider
- Implementing the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant flow to authenticate the Lumos CLI
- Partner with Engineering to incorporate Secure by Design principals throughout every portion of the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC)
- Contribute to complex prioritization discussions around which risks are the most important to solve next
- Plan projects to address the risks we prioritize and coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders across the company to execute those projects
- Extend our detection and response capabilities by building solutions to identify malicious activity, triage alerts, and investigate and remediate incidents
- Identify and remediate vulnerabilities within the Lumos code base
- Assist with control enforcement and policy creation in alignment with our compliance obligations (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001)
- Support ongoing penetration testing programs
- Participate in security related incident response
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 channeled into expanding the app. This comes after an impressive 9x growth since its last fundraise.
