Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Lumos is an Autonomous Identity Platform that helps companies manage applications, identities, access, and data. The Software Engineer on the Data Engineering team will design and ship shared identity-data primitives, APIs, and infrastructure, including integration-agnostic Access Graph APIs, while driving technical decisions and improving platform resilience, observability, and scalability.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement core components of our identity data platform, including APIs, service layers, and interfaces that abstract raw identity data into shared primitives other products build on
- Build and extend our data interface framework, enabling reusable patterns for contract design, versioning, and observability across producer and consumer teams
- Work across teams to migrate product surfaces off direct integration or database reads and onto well-defined, product-grade APIs
- Contribute to a world-class data infrastructure by building the primitives, Access Graph APIs, the Unified Entitlements Data API, and similar, that let engineering, product, and AI teams access high-quality identity data seamlessly
- Drive key technical decisions and lead by example, through architecture reviews, mentoring, and pairing with other engineers on complex data-interface problems
- Champion resilience, observability, and scalability in every layer of the identity data platform
Skills
- Strong experience as a backend or platform engineer, building service layers in front of a transactional database (MySQL/Postgres) that abstract storage from internal consumers, or comparable ingestion/sync pipeline experience with Dagster, Airflow, or similar
- Proficiency in one or more modern backend languages (Python, Go, or TypeScript), with a focus on clean API design, testability, and observability
- Experience designing service or API interfaces over a transactional datastore, defining contracts that let producers and consumers evolve independently, gRPC or comparable is a plus
- A strong instinct for data correctness, observability, and SLOs in systems where downstream products take action on the output
- Familiarity with identity and access governance (IGA) data (identities, accounts, entitlements, group memberships, non-human identities) and how its correctness, freshness, and traceability shape downstream governance outcomes at scale
