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.
Why Lumos?
- 🚀 Jump on a rocketship. Since launching out of stealth in April 2022, we've grown from 20 to ~130 Alchemists and raised over $65M from a16z, Scale, Neo, Greg Brockman (President at OpenAI), and Phil Venables (CISO at Google).
- ⭐ Customers love us — and so does the industry. Named a Strong Performer in the 2026 Gartner Voice of the Customer for IGA — 4.7/5, with 96% of reviewers saying they'd recommend us. Our customers cut time-to-access by 98%, slash IT tickets by 72%, and eliminate excess privilege at scale.
- 🏆 A culture worth joining. Three years running on Forbes' Top 100 Best Startup Employers in America (2024, 2025, 2026) — measured on culture, retention, growth, and job creation. That's our Alchemists, not our marketing. See what we live by here https://blog.lumos.com/p/the-anatomy-of-an-alchemist.
🔦 OVERALL DESCRIPTION
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 API for reading access-graph data. 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.
