## About the role

As a Software Engineer on AI Agent Governance at Lumos, you have massive opportunity to help build a brand new product from the ground up in one of the fastest moving markets in software. You'll join a small team who ships fast. Ship backend features end to end, from a rough customer ask to running in production, often in days rather than weeks. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 1+ years of professional software engineering experience, or an equivalent track record of shipping real products
- Strong backend fundamentals. You've built APIs, databases and services that run in production. Our stack is Python, Postgres, OpenSearch and gRPC on AWS
- You're AI native. You understand how agents work under the hood: tool calls, MCP servers, hooks and context
- You're comfortable with ambiguity. You've worked somewhere small and fast, you start before the spec is finished, and you change direction when customers tell you something new
- You take ownership. This is a high-intensity role on a product that's still finding product market fit. We work hard and move fast, and we want people who are excited by that
- Nice to have: experience with endpoint or client software (MDM, software that runs on laptops), a security or identity background
