About the role

People Business Partner: Own the HRBP relationship for your business groups — performance management, employee relations, talent development, org design, and team health. Coach managers proactively. This is ownership, not support. Performance & Talent Programs: Own and evolve performance cycles, Pulse surveys, talent assessments and more. Surface trends and insights to leadership with recommendations tied to business outcomes. Bring your POV — don't just run the existing playbook.

What they're looking for

  • Demonstrated ability to independently own performance management, employee relations, and manager coaching — not just support someone else running those processes
  • Genuine AI fluency: actively uses AI tools in your workflow, has a POV on how AI should reshape HR operations, and is energized about automating the manual work
  • Comfortable facilitating sessions with leaders and employees — from manager enablement workshops to internal comms rollouts on sensitive people topics
  • Strong systems thinker who has meaningfully improved or implemented HR tools — not just used them
  • Experience at a startup or high-growth company where you had to build, not just operate
  • A fresh perspective: can learn Lumos's culture and build for what we actually need — not default to what worked at the last company
More about this role

Every breach, every failed audit, every new hire stuck in onboarding purgatory traces back to the same question: who has access to what — and should they?

Identity is where modern companies break. 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.

You'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.

🚀 Jump 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).

⭐ Customers love us — and so does the industry. Named a Strong Performer in the 2026...
