About Lumos

Lumos is an Autonomous Identity Platform built to answer a critical question for modern organizations: who should have access to what. The product is designed to reduce excessive permissions, prevent risk, and keep business operations moving without unnecessary friction. The company began with a self-service AppStore and has since become core infrastructure for connecting applications, identities, and data for teams at companies such as GitHub, MongoDB, Mars, Pinterest, Anduril, Intercom, Roku, and Netskope. Its AI agent, Albus, helps mine roles, approve access, and detect changes that people may overlook.

This role gives you the chance to build work that is used daily by IT and security teams. You will operate in a fast-moving environment where the category is still being defined and where ownership matters more than playbooks.
