Platform Software Engineer, Data

Imagine having an enterprise-grade AppStore at work — one that ensures you can easily search, request, and gain access to any app you need, precisely when you need it. No more long waiting times with outstanding IT requests. Lumos is solving the app and access management challenges for organizations of all sizes through a unified platform. Our fast-growing startup is pioneering the way to untangle the complex web of app and access management by building the critical infrastructure that defines relationships between app, identities and data.

Why Lumos?

• Jump on a Rocketship: Since launching out of stealth mode just over 2 years ago, our team has grown from 20 to ~100 people and our customer base has 10x’ed with companies like GitHub, MongoDB and Major League Baseball!

• Build with Renowned Investor Backing: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) backed us since the beginning and we've raised over $65m from Scale, Neo, Greg Brockman (President at OpenAI), Phil Venables (CISO at Google), and others.

• Thrive in a Unique Culture: You’ll join an early-stage company where you have actual influence on the trajectory of the company. We deeply care about our people and the philosophy we live by - check out our values here.

Lumos is making it a joy for companies to manage their apps and identities ✨. By integrating usage, spend, compliance, and access data, we provide a level of clarity and insight previously unimaginable. To deliver a best-in-class product, Lumos depends on state-of-the-art data pipelines that power our analytics and AI-driven solutions.

We are seeking a highly skilled, visionary, and data-savvy Software Engineer to drive the evolution of our data infrastructure and empower data-driven decision-making across the organization. You will be instrumental in building a robust, scalable, and reliable data platform that powers our production application, in-product analytics, and advanced AI initiatives. Reporting to the Head of Platform Engineering, you will play a key role in designing and developing software solutions that interact with and enhance our data ecosystem.

As part of a small and high-impact team, you’ll operate with autonomy, lean into ambiguity, and solve for scale. You’ll partner with product and engineering leadership to design platform capabilities that not only meet compliance and security requirements, but also delight developers and customers with their clarity and reliability.

We’re a startup that believes in owning the outcome, staying curious, and building with trust—both in the software we ship and the people we work with.
