Job description

Imagine having an enterprise-grade AppStore at work — one that ensures you can easily search, request, and gain access to any app you need, precisely when you need it. No more long waiting times with outstanding IT requests. Lumos is solving the app and access management challenges for organizations of all sizes through a unified platform. Our fast-growing startup is pioneering the way to untangle the complex web of app and access management by building the critical infrastructure that defines relationships between app, identities and data.

Why Lumos?

• Jump on a Rocketship: Since launching out of stealth mode just over 2 years ago, our team has grown from 20 to ~100 people and our customer base has 10x’ed with companies like GitHub, MongoDB and Major League Baseball!
• Build with Renowned Investor Backing: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) backed us since the beginning and we've raised over $65m from Scale, Neo, Greg Brockman (President at OpenAI), Phil Venables (CISO at Google), and others.
• Thrive in a Unique Culture: You’ll join an early-stage company where you have actual influence on the trajectory of the company. We deeply care about our people and the philosophy we live by - check out our values here.

We’re seeing very strong adoption with core products, and in order to double down our investment and support accelerating growth, we’re hiring a Staff Product Platform Engineer to join the team. You'd be among the first 100 employees and set the foundation for extreme growth.

The Product Platform team plays a critical role in ensuring Lumos executes towards company goals by enabling our product engineering teams to execute more quickly and with higher quality. This team develops the core frameworks and primitives used by engineers across the company, including our human-in-the-loop workflow framework, core user and account data pipeline, and more. Product Platform also invests in external-facing API infrastructure that allows customers to deepen their Lumos usage, as well as a shared frontend platform for product engineers to build consistent user experiences. On this team, you'll be involved in scaling the engineering team and the entire company!

• Take ownership of our core architecture and data models. Collaborate closely with other engineers to develop the frameworks and systems used by other teams.
• Design and build robust, scalable systems that enable us to scale our platform to 10x the number of users.
• Drive the infrastructure for our data ingestion pipelines that set the foundation for all products at Lumos.
• Solve challenging engineering problems focused mainly in the backend (Python, Flask), but potentially in other parts of the stack.
• Uplevel your team by setting technical best practices and mentoring engineers.
• Grow the engineering team! Interview candidates and refine our recruiting processes as we rapidly grow.

Salary: $210,000 - $240,000. Note that this range is a good faith estimate of likely pay for this role; upon hire, the pay may differ due to skill and/or level of experience.

What We Value

We care much more about your motivation and excitement to grow into the role than we care just about your CV. Instead of focusing on what people need to have, we focus on what people need to do. Additionally, we try to find out whether you would be a good fit for Lumos based on our values that define how we achieve outcomes and what characteristics we value.

We strongly encourage individuals from underrepresented groups to apply.

Benefits and Perks:

• Remote work culture (+/-4 hours Pacific Time)
• Medical, Vision, & Dental coverage covered by Lumos
• Company and team bonding trips throughout the year fully covered by Lumos
• Optimal WFH setup to set you up for success
• Unlimited PTO, with minimum time off to make sure you are rested and able to be at your best
• Up to (4) months off for both the Birthing & Non-birthing parent
• Wellness stipend to keep you awesome and healthy
