About the role
We're building the runtime that sits between agents and the systems they touch — and helping define a new category in the process.
Responsibilities
- Owning a major surface area from day one
- Building the entity graph — a real-time model of every user, agent, resource, and action across a customer's environment
- Designing and implementing the integrations layer that keeps it in sync with Okta, AWS, and the rest of the identity and cloud stack
- Creating the policy and audit APIs that decide, in milliseconds, whether an agent gets to make a call — and proving it later
- Developing the policy engine, which is only as good as the world model it reasons over, so we're building both
Requirements
- Built and operated backend systems that real customers depended on
- Strong in Go, Python, or Java
- Comfortable designing data models under ambiguity — graph experience is a plus
- Turning vague problems into simple, reliable systems
Qualifications
- Bonus background in security, identity, or infrastructure
- Experience with agents or tool-calling systems
Skills
- Backend development
- Data modeling
