$140,000.00/yr - $250,000.00/yr

The best security and engineering teams use our platform to manage access for everyone and everything in the modern enterprise — from employees and contractors to service accounts and AI agents. Recognizing that access moves rapidly, touches everything, and changes constantly, our AI-proofed authorization control plane is built for how identity works (and what identity security needs) today and tomorrow: scale, speed, and intelligence. We are based in New York City and San Francisco, trusted by leading hypergrowth startups and the Fortune 500 alike, and backed by Greylock, Battery Ventures, Silicon Valley CISO Investments (SVCI), and other top experts from around the world.

About this role

Identity is having a moment. Every company is deploying agents, spinning up service accounts, and realizing their IAM stack can't keep up. We're building AI-native security that scales with this chaos and companies like Databricks and Figma are betting on us to get it right.

You will build customer solutions across the entire stack. You'll talk directly to security and eng teams at Fortune 500s and startups alike, understand their messy reality, and architect systems that actually solve their problems. You'll own the problem, not just the solution, which means you get to be creative, challenge assumptions, and build things that don't exist yet.

This is a team of people who genuinely like each other and want to work together. We value thoughtful engineering over speed-running tickets. You'll collaborate with people who have wildly different expertise, debate tradeoffs, and ship work you're proud of.

Your responsibilities

• Own critical product areas from concept to production: design and build features across our full stack, make architectural decisions, work directly with customers to validate solutions, and ensure your systems scale as we grow.
• Multiply the team's impact: write code that other engineers build on top of, establish patterns that improve our velocity, share knowledge that levels up the team, and help shape how we build.

Our Ideal Candidate Loves to

• Build end-to-end: you can take a customer problem, design the solution, and ship it across frontend and backend.
• Think creatively: you're not a code monkey or a bot following specs. You question requirements, propose better approaches, and care about the "why" behind what you're building.
• Thrive in undefined spaces: you get energized by ambiguous problems where there's no playbook. You'd rather figure out what to build than be handed a detailed spec.
• Talk to customers: you want to understand who you're building for, what they need, and how our platform enables their growth and success.
• Explore a passion or curiosity in IAM / security.
• YOE: 7+ years of experience in full-stack software engineering, with a strong product sense.
• Visa sponsorship is available. Relocation assistance is also available.
• Location: Remote in the US (can be hybrid in NYC or SF).
