Summary ✨ AI‑Generated

An early-stage backend engineering opportunity focused on securing AI-driven enterprise workflows. You will own major components including a real-time entity model, integrations with identity and cloud systems, and high-performance policy and audit APIs. The role is highly hands-on, with code reaching real customers and significant ownership from the outset.

Highlights

High-impact backend role at an early-stage security technology company, offering substantial ownership from day one, production-scale systems, direct customer impact, and the opportunity to help shape a new security category.

Description

Seed-stage Enterprise Security AI Agents AI agents are starting to take real actions inside companies — calling APIs, touching production data, executing workflows. Security teams have no way to see what they`re doing, let alone control it. We`re building the runtime that sits between agents and the systems they touch — and helping define a new category in the process. What you`ll build You`ll own a major surface area from day one The entity graph — a real-time model of every user, agent, resource, and action across a customer`s environmentThe integrations layer that keeps it in sync with Okta, AWS, and the rest of the identity and cloud stackThe policy and audit APIs that decide, in milliseconds, whether an agent gets to make a call — and prove it later A policy engine is only as good as the world model it reasons over, so we`re building both. Your code ships to paying customers, not a demo. You Have built and operated backend systems that real customers depended onStrong in Go or Python or JavaComfortable designing data models under ambiguity — graph experience is a plusTurn vague problems into simple, reliable systems Bonus background in security, identity, or infrastructure; experience with agents or tool-calling systems.
