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.

Care Genuinely

I am eager to support co-workers and customers and proactively jump in to help – your problem is my problem. I believe it is with this unity that there is victory. So, I care and proactively work on my relationships with people.

Why Lumos

We’re revolutionizing how the world manages access, apps, and identities. The complexity of today’s digital landscape demands bold solutions, and Lumos leads the charge with autonomous, intelligent technology.

We foster a culture of innovation, where curiosity and impact go hand in hand. Here, you’ll tackle meaningful challenges, grow with inspiring teammates, and contribute to a mission that simplifies complexity and empowers productivity. Join Lumos and illuminate your potential.

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. 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. See what we live by here .

We are about the raise our Series C to fuel our growth toward $100M ARR. We are looking for a Leader of Finance that directly reports to the CEO to help us get there.

Your Responsibilities

The plan that gets us to $100M. Build the financial blueprint that takes Lumos from where we are today to $100M ARR over the next three years.
The pricing transformation. Help us evolve from seat-based pricing into a true AI tool, with a real model behind how we charge for agents and AI identities.
An AI-native Finance function. Build a high-leverage Finance team that uses AI to do the work of a much bigger one.
The operating rhythm. Run a tight Finance machine the org trusts, with clean numbers, disciplined spend, and healthy banking and compliance.
Cross-functional partnership at the top. Be the financial voice in the room with the Head of Sales, Head of Engineering, COO, and CEO, making every leader sharper at their job.
Investor relations and capital strategy. Own the board, investor updates, and banker relationships, keeping us ready for the next round at all times.

What We're Looking For

You have been the #2 or #3 in Finance at a $100M+ private company, or the Head of Finance at a growth-stage company. You have closed a real round. You have built a capacity model for a sales-led enterprise GTM motion. You know the difference between optimization and transformation, and you have driven the latter.
You are AI-native. You use Claude or equivalent every day. You can name three things you stopped doing manually in the last 12 months.
You catch errors before anyone else does. You get nervous when something does not add up. You also know when to step back and let the operator make the call.
You are good at the small things and the big things. You hire well. You get a charge from being in the room when the company makes its biggest calls.

What We Value

We also care about whether you would be a good fit for Lumos based on the values and characteristics that define how we achieve outcomes, not just your resume.

Thank you for considering Lumos, we hope to hear from you!
