Too much access leaks data. Too little grinds the business to a halt. Lumos is the industry's first Autonomous Identity Platform - software that doesn't just surface access risk, but acts on it. We started with a self-service AppStore and grew into the critical infrastructure connecting apps, identities, and data for GitHub, MongoDB, Mars, Pinterest, Anduril, Intercom, Roku, and Netskope. At the center is Albus, our AI agent for identity - mining roles, approving access, and catching the drift humans miss.\nYou'll ship work that thousands of IT and security teams touch every day. You'll own problems without playbooks, because the category is being redefined in real time - by us.\nWhy Lumos?\nJump on a rocketship. Since launching out of stealth in April 2022, we've grown from 20 to ~130 Alchemists and raised over $65M from a16z, Scale, Neo, Greg Brockman (President at OpenAI), and Phil Venables (CISO at Google).\n\n⭐ Customers love us - and so does the industry. Named a Strong Performer in the 2026 Gartner Voice of the Customer for IGA - 4.7/5, with 96% of reviewers saying they'd recommend us. Our customers cut time-to-access by 98%, slash IT tickets by 72%, and eliminate excess privilege at scale.\n\nA culture worth joining. Three years running on Forbes' Top 100 Best Startup Employers in America (2024, 2025, 2026) - measured on culture, retention, growth, and job creation. That's our Alchemists, not our marketing. See what we live by here.\n\nWe’re looking for a AI Agent Engineer to join the team. You'll build and own core AI features, in addition to helping to ensure the health of our engineering systems. You will work across the stack, focusing on areas you are most excited about and that bring value to customers. Beyond your technical work, you will gain leadership opportunities early on as we grow our engineering team. You'll be involved in scaling the product, the team, and the entire company.\nYour Responsibilities\nLead the development of agent pipelines: design modular SDK components, drive production rigor, and support the growth of junior engineers.\n\nArchitect composable agent SDKs with built-in safety and robust fallback strategies.\n\nDesign tracing tools and alert dashboards to ensure agent performance and quality.\n\nOwn the agent lifecycle-from chaining and testing to CI/CD and production rollout.\n\nCollaborate closely with security and operations teams to ensure agent governance and auditability.\n\nMentor and uplevel teammates on best practices in observability and resilience.\n\nSolve challenging technical problems across the stack to develop critical customer-facing features; includes the frontend (React, Typescript), communication layer (GraphQL, Apollo), and backend (Python, Flask, sqlalchemy).\n\nWhat We Value\nWe’re looking for engineers who want to shape the next generation of intelligent agents-people who care deeply about building reliable, modular systems and elevating those around them. If you’re energized by architecting robust agent SDKs, creating tools that ensure safety and observability, and mentoring others, you’ll thrive at Lumos.\nYou’ve built and deployed AI-driven workflows - such as tool-calling systems, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, or autonomous agentic orchestration using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph.\n\nStrong software engineering experience with 5+ years of building and scaling end-to-end production systems.\n\nStrong knowledge of API design, system performance, and software architecture.\n\nProficiency in modern programming languages such as Go, TypeScript, or Python, and familiarity with frameworks like React.\n\nFamiliarity with identity and access management systems, such as SCIM, OAuth2, SAML, or integrating with IDPs and HRIS tools.\n\nPay Range\n$123,077 - $160,000 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.\n\nLocation\nThis role will be onsite in person 2-3 times a week in our San Francisco HQ\n\nBenefits and Perks:\nRemote-first culture - Work from anywhere within ±4 hours of Pacific Time.\n\nMedical, dental & vision insurance - 100% of premiums covered for employees, 60% for dependents. HSA and FSA available with employer contribution. International benefits align with local standards.\n\nMental health support - Access to mental health resources and support.\n\nMonthly wellness stipend - A monthly stipend for gym memberships, fitness apps, and whatever helps you recharge.\n\nLife & disability insurance - Life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability coverage available.\n\nFlexible PTO - Flexible time off with a minimum annual requirement, because rest is part of doing your best work.\n\nParental leave - Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave for expecting parents.\n\n$1,000 annual learning stipend - An annual budget for courses, books, conferences, and certifications.\n\nCompany & team offsites - Company and team bonding trips throughout the year, fully covered by Lumos.\n\n401(k) with matching - Employer 401(k) matching to help you save for the future.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5284,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible time off","Gym membership","Life insurance","Parental leave","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Identity Management","Information Security","Security Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2025-07-02T23:14:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.338,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":471,"expected_fill_days":78,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lumos-ai-agent-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lumos-ai-agent-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T18:15:48Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":970,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4827},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4827"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flumos-ai-agent-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flumos-ai-agent-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flumos-ai-agent-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lumos-ai-agent-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flumos-ai-agent-engineer"}]}
