Software Engineer, Data Platform - Lumos

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. At the center is Albus, our AI agent for identity — mining roles, approving access, and catching the drift humans miss.

At the heart of our products is our identity data platform, the systems that ingest identity data from hundreds of third-party integrations and turns it into the trusted, insight-rich primitives that power every Lumos product.

As a Software Engineer on our Data Platform team you will drive the evolution of our identity data backbone, the systems every Lumos product depends on. You will be instrumental in building robust, scalable, and reliable platform software.

✨ Your Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and operate systems that transform high volumes of identity data from third-party integrations to product consumers with correctness, freshness, and operational rigor.
• Build the shared primitives and interfaces (APIs, services, materialized models) that abstract raw identity data into the building blocks that power our products.
• Contribute to the technical vision for a world-class data infrastructure that empowers engineering, product, and AI teams, enabling seamless access to high-quality data.
• Establish SLOs, observability, and operational tooling that catch and remediate failures in identity data systems before they reach customers.
• Promote and implement software engineering best practices for building scalable, reliable, and secure data-centric applications.

🙌 What We Value

• 3-7 Years of experience as a backend or platform engineer building production data systems other teams depend on, either ingestion and sync pipelines (Dagster, Airflow, or comparable orchestration) or service layers in front of a transactional database (MySQL/Postgres).
• Strong backend development skills in Python, Go, or TypeScript, with a focus on clean API design, testability, and observability.
• Strong instinct for data correctness, observability, and SLOs in systems where downstream products take action on the output.
• Experience designing service or API interfaces over a transactional datastore (MySQL/Postgres) defining contracts that let producers and consumers evolve independently.
• Familiarity with identity and access governance (IGA) data and how its correctness, freshness, and traceability shape downstream governance outcomes at scale.
