About The Position

Every breach, every failed audit, every new hire stuck in onboarding purgatory traces back to the same question: who has access to what — and should they? Identity is where modern companies break. Too much access leaks data. Too little grinds the business to a halt. Lumos is the industry's first Autonomous Identity Platform — software that doesn't just surface access risk, but acts on it. We started with a self-service AppStore and grew into the critical infrastructure connecting apps, identities, and data for GitHub, MongoDB, Mars, Pinterest, Anduril, Intercom, Roku, and Netskope. At the center is Albus, our AI agent for identity — mining roles, approving access, and catching the drift humans miss. 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. 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 Data Engineering team, you will design and ship the shared primitives product teams build identity features on. You'll lead projects like defining and shipping an integration-agnostic Access Graph API. Today Identity Intelligence consumes EntraID's access graph through a direct integration call, capping insights to a single integration, and your work will let Identity Intelligence and future products generate insights across every access-graph-enabled integration as it comes online. 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.

Requirements

• Strong experience as a backend or platform engineer, building service layers in front of a transactional database (MySQL/Postgres) that abstract storage from internal consumers, or comparable ingestion/sync pipeline experience with Dagster, Airflow, or similar.
• Proficiency in one or more modern backend languages (Python, Go, or TypeScript), with a focus on clean API design, testability, and observability.
• Experience designing service or API interfaces over a transactional datastore, defining contracts that let producers and consumers evolve independently, gRPC or comparable is a plus.
• A strong instinct for data correctness, observability, and SLOs in systems where downstream products take action on the output.
• Familiarity with identity and access governance (IGA) data (identities, accounts, entitlements, group memberships, non-human identities) and how its correctness, freshness, and traceability shape downstream governance outcomes at scale.

Nice To Haves

• gRPC or comparable is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement core components of our identity data platform, including APIs, service layers, and interfaces that abstract raw identity data into shared primitives other products build on.
• Build and extend our data interface framework, enabling reusable patterns for contract design, versioning, and observability across producer and consumer teams.
• Work across teams to migrate product surfaces off direct integration or database reads and onto well-defined, product-grade APIs.
• Contribute to a world-class data infrastructure by building the primitives, Access Graph APIs, the Unified Entitlements Data API, and similar, that let engineering, product, and AI teams access high-quality identity data seamlessly.
• Drive key technical decisions and lead by example, through architecture reviews, mentoring, and pairing with other engineers on complex data-interface problems.
• Champion resilience, observability, and scalability in every layer of the identity data platform.

Benefits

• Medical, dental & vision insurance – 100% of premiums covered for employees, 60% for dependents. HSA and FSA available with employer contribution. International benefits align with local standards.
• Mental health support – Access to mental health resources and support.
• Monthly wellness stipend – A monthly stipend for gym memberships, fitness apps, and whatever helps you recharge.
• Life & disability insurance – Life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability coverage available.
• Flexible PTO – Flexible time off with a minimum annual requirement, because rest is part of doing your best work.
• Parental leave – Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave for expecting parents.
• $1,000 annual learning stipend – An annual budget for courses, books, conferences, and certifications.
• Company & team offsites – Company and team bonding trips throughout the year, fully covered by Lumos.
• 401(k) with matching – Employer 401(k) matching to help you save for the future.
