Job summary
We are building the security and identity backbone for the autonomous agent era. We are looking for a Founding Architect to act as the technical anchor for our engineering effort. This is a high-impact hands-on role for someone who can anticipate the security failures of the future design security solutions and then jump into the trenches to help build them. You will bridge the gap between AI orchestration and hardened security infrastructure ensuring small Special Forces squad is building toward a unified scalable vision. We need a visionary who can and break them down into shippable testable engineering milestones today.
What you will do
- System Synthesis: Envision and document the end-to-end architecture that allows AI agents to possess verifiable identities move across multi-cloud environments and execute tool calls securely.
- Bridge AI & Security: Design the Gateway logic where AI-native protocols (like MCP) meet enterprise-grade security controls (like IAM Zero Trust and mTLS).
- Technical Decomposition: Break down massive ambiguous challenges (like secure multi-cloud agent identity) into concrete testable engineering tasks for the team.
- Hands-on Implementation: Spend about 70% of your time in the IDE. You lead by codetackling the most complex architectural bottlenecks and setting the standard for code quality and performance.
- Scalability & Resilience Planning: Architect for the Day 2 problems: multi-tenancy high availability and fail-closed security posture and ensure our early-stage prototypes can scale to enterprise-grade workloads.
What you will have
- Full-Stack Architectural Depth: 8 years of experience in system design. You can navigate the entire stack from Linux internals and Kubernetes networking to application-level AI orchestration.
- Dual-Language Proficiency: Expert-level coding skills in Golang Python
- AI Agent & Model Fluency: Practical experience with agentic frameworks (LangGraph CrewAI AutoGen) and managed AI services (AWS Bedrock Azure AI Foundry Google Vertex AI). You understand how LLMs think and where they are most vulnerable.
- Cloud-Native Mastery: Deep experience with Kubernetes Envoy Proxy and cloud IAM models across AWS Azure and GCP. You understand how to build workloads that are portable and secure.
- Security-First Engineering: A strong foundation in Zero Trust principles PKI and API Security. You dont treat security as a checkbox; you treat it as the core feature.
- Collaborative Spirit: You thrive in a flat team structure. You arent looking for a title; you are looking to be the person who makes the impossible parts of the product work.
