About Zluri: Securing the AI Future
Every enterprise is deploying AI agents. Almost none of them know what those agents can access.
Zluri is building the Identity Control Plane for the AI Era — a unified platform that brings real-time visibility and governance to every identity in an organization, human and non-human alike. We combine Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), Identity Visibility & Intelligence (IVIP), and Identity Governance into a single platform powered by a Context Graph architecture.
While others build agents to do the work, we build the infrastructure to ensure they don't go rogue.
We're a Series-B startup backed by Lightspeed, MassMutual Ventures, Endiya Partners, and Kalaari Capital, trusted by 200+ enterprise customers to secure their identity landscape. If you're excited about defining how the world governs identity in an AI-first future, we'd love to talk.
Responsibilities:
- Own and deliver modules end-to-end — from design and coding to deployment and monitoring.
- Drive technical decisions and influence architecture to ensure high scalability, reliability, and performance.
- Collaborate closely with PMs, QAs, and cross-functional teams to ensure smooth delivery and knowledge sharing.
- Mentor junior engineers, review code, and set best practices for design, coding, and testing.
- Identify gaps in systems and processes, propose improvements, and set up workflows to scale the engineering team.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and maintaining complex applications in production environments.
- Deep knowledge of databases — NoSQL or relational, with solid data modelling experience.
- Solid understanding of system design, object-oriented design, and design patterns.
- Should be able to design small systems/services independently.
- Experience debugging, profiling, and scaling high-performance applications.
- Strong problem-solving skills, able to handle ambiguity, and break down complex issues.
- Have worked at a product-based company.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Experience with Node.js or React.js.
- Prior hands-on work with MongoDB.
- Prior experience mentoring or leading a small engineering team is a plus.
Empowering Diversity, Championing Inclusivity
Zluri values diversity and inclusivity, fostering an environment where every individual feels welcome and respected. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer, providing fair consideration to all qualified applicants, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
