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.

Why Lumos?

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 Gartner Voice of the Customer for IGA — 4.7/5, with 96% of reviewers saying they'd recommend us. Our customers cut time-to-access by 98%, slash IT tickets by 72%, and eliminate excess privilege at scale.
A culture worth joining. Three years running on Forbes' Top 100 Best Startup Employers in America (2024, 2025, 2026) — measured on culture, retention, growth, and job creation. That's our Alchemists, not our marketing. See what we live by here.

Overall description

This isn't a role where you inherit a playbook and execute it. At Lumos, you'll craft and own it.

You'll come in at 60% HRBP / 40% People Ops- and that balance keeps shifting toward strategic partnership as AI and systems absorb the manual work. The design is intentional: as the ops load lightens, your impact on the business and truly human work deepens.

On the HRBP side, you will independently own your business groups' performance management conversations, employee relations, and manager coaching while also partnering closely with the rest of the People team. On the Ops side, you will run the people infrastructure, drive automation, and make sure the fundamentals never slip.

High-accountability, high-autonomy. The mandate: build for where Lumos is going — not recreate what worked somewhere else or in a pre-AI landscape.

✨ Your Responsibilities

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.
Employee Relations: Independently manage employee relations cases, sensitive situations, and conflict resolution. Know when to escalate and when to own it. Document thoroughly, maintain confidentiality.
Facilitation & Internal L&D: Facilitate manager enablement workshops, internal learning sessions, and program rollouts. Own the internal comms experience for all people topics. Show up prepared, read the room.
AI & Automation: Identify and implement automation across the People function — workflows, documentation, reporting, and reactive work. Build systems that create capacity for strategic work.
HR Tech & Data: Own and optimize the people tech stack. Ensure data accuracy and deliver regular people insights through reporting.
People Ops: Own onboarding, offboarding, and employee lifecycle processes. Maintain accurate, compliant records.
