Build The Future of Autonomous Technology See all Open Roles What Drives Us Forward Set the Standard I have this innate passion and drive to create my career’s best work here. To get a great outcome, I crave feedback to get better, build a habit of urgency and climb mountains if needed. In short, I either find a way or make one, going above and beyond what’s expected. Discover To Deliver Curiosity combined with principled thinking can conquer any challenge. I don’t just assume what the problem is but I am curious to explore and ask “why.” Equipped with insights, I evaluate trade-offs and can showcase a clear reason why I took a certain action. Paint In Pink Painting in pink in B2B is about being playfully bold. One, I think big because optimism shapes reality. Two, I communicate and act with a smile, bringing levity into my interactions. Three, I win people’s hearts and minds through a novel story and a clear point of view.

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.
