## About the role

Identity is having a moment. Every company is deploying agents, spinning up service accounts, and realizing their IAM stack can't keep up. We're building AI-native security that scales with this chaos and companies like Databricks and Figma are betting on us to get it right.

## What they're looking for

- Build end-to-end: you can take a customer problem, design the solution, and ship it across frontend and backend
- Think creatively: you're not a code monkey or a bot following specs. You question requirements, propose better approaches, and care about the "why" behind what you're building
- Thrive in undefined spaces: you get energized by ambiguous problems where there's no playbook. You'd rather figure out what to build than be handed a detailed spec
- Talk to customers: you want to understand who you're building for, what they need, and how Opal enables their growth and success
- Explore a passion or curiosity in IAM / security
