## About the Role

Do you have experience in 10 key typing?, * 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.

Repeat founders, previously in leadership at Lacework and ShiftRight. Backed by tier-1 investors. Small team shipping the first version now.

## Description

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
