Description

Join Lumia, backed by Team8 and NewEra, and help us solve the next generation of AI security challenges at scale. Our product combines AI, security, high-performance networking and distributed systems.

You'll design and build core services across our platform, and your networking and infrastructure experience will help us build fast, reliable and secure systems.

Life at Lumia

We're a small, early-stage team that takes the work seriously but not ourselves. We move fast, argue about architecture over lunch, celebrate wins together and help each other when things break. Everyone here has a real say, good ideas win no matter who they come from, and you'll see your work in production quickly. If you love hard technical problems and want to have fun solving them with people you like, you'll fit right in.
