Job Description

We’re building foundational infrastructure to secure AI agents - including their identities, access patterns, and interactions with sensitive systems and data. This includes designing intelligent, dynamic mechanisms for ephemeral access control, secrets management, and agent/user identity tailored to the modern agent ecosystem.

You’ll help define how agents (both machine and human-facing) authenticate, obtain scoped access, perform actions securely, and leave a verifiable audit trail.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a start-up inside the company - building the platform from scratch at one of the most cutting-edge intersections of AI, identity, and security.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and development of secure, scalable services that enable AI agents to manage their identities, secrets, and access - directly protecting critical systems and data.
• Take charge of agent authentication flows and real-time access policies, ensuring seamless, reliable just-in-time, least-privilege access.
• Lead the evolution of MCPs and agentic AI, transforming innovative ideas into systems that define how intelligent agents operate at scale.
• Collaborate with architects and engineers to shape and deliver high-performance platform components you can take pride in.
• Write clean, maintainable, and scalable code that powers some of the world’s largest and most security-conscious companies.
• Drive cross-functional efforts with platform, AI, and security teams to gather requirements, influence design decisions, and bring impactful solutions to life.
  
  

• You bring 5+ years of experience in backend or systems development. Experience with Python or Go is an advantage.
• You’ve built distributed, cloud-based systems that are scalable, secure, and high-performing, and you’re comfortable working with AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• You’re naturally curious and passionate about exploring new technologies and tools, especially in AI and agentic AI, and you love turning emerging ideas into real systems.
• You’re proactive, take ownership of your work, and constantly strive for excellence and improvement in everything you do.
• You communicate and collaborate effectively, enjoying close partnerships with multiple engineering teams to design and deliver complete, secure solutions.
