Job description

• AI AgentsAI agents are starting to take real actions inside companies — calling APIs, touching production data, executing workflows. Security teams have no way to see what there doing, let alone control it. Were building the runtime that sits between agents and the systems they touch — and helping define a new category in the process.What you`ll buildYou`ll own a major surface area from day one
• The entity graph — a real-time model of every user, agent, resource, and action across a customer`s environment
• The integrations layer that keeps it in sync with Okta, AWS, and the rest of the identity and cloud stack
• The policy and audit APIs that decide, in milliseconds, whether an agent gets to make a call — and prove it laterA policy engine is only as good as the world model it reasons over, so we`re building both. Your code ships to paying customers, not a demo.You
• Have built and operated backend systems that real customers depended on
• Strong in Go or Python or Java
• Comfortable designing data models under ambiguity — graph experience is a plus
• Turn vague problems into simple, reliable systemsBonusbackground in security, identity, or infrastructure; experience with agents or tool-calling systems.UsRepeat founders, previously in leadership at Lacework and ShiftRight.
