Backend Engineer

Seed-stage

• Enterprise Security
• AI Agents

AI agents are starting to take real actions inside companies — calling APIs, touching production data, executing workflows. Security teams have no way to see what they`re doing, let alone control it. We`re building the runtime that sits between agents and the systems they touch — and helping define a new category in the process.

What you`ll build

You`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 later

A 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 systems

Bonus

background in security, identity, or infrastructure; experience with agents or tool-calling systems.
