Recruiter
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.
As a Recruiter at Lumos, you’ll play a foundational role in building the team that builds Lumos. Your work will directly shape our product, our culture, and our ability to scale with excellence. You'll partner closely with hiring managers and the leadership team to understand talent needs, drive pipeline, and deliver an unforgettable candidate experience, all while shaping recruiting systems that are designed to scale.
You’ll own your roles from end to end. Beyond execution, you’ll contribute to the continuous improvement of our recruiting strategy, processes, and storytelling — helping Lumos become a magnet for exceptional talent.
✨ Your Responsibilities
Full-Cycle Ownership: Lead full-cycle recruiting across tech and non-tech roles, from intake to close, including sourcing, screening, coordinating, and candidate communication.
Trusted Partner to Hiring Managers: Serve as a consultative partner to hiring managers. Help them scope roles, align interview panels, and identify opportunities to improve the candidate funnel.
Pipeline Generation: Source and engage top-tier passive talent through creative outreach and storytelling. Deliver ≥50% self-sourced pipeline on priority roles.
Process Builder: Help standardize recruiting processes with interview kickoffs, debriefs, feedback loops, and improve them over time based on what’s working and what’s not.
Candidate Experience Champion: Deliver a candidate experience that reflects Lumos’ culture: thoughtful, respectful, human, and warm — even for candidates we don’t hire.
DEI Advocacy: Embed equity into sourcing, screening, and interviewing processes. Source from diverse communities and advocate for structured, fair evaluation practices.
🙌 What We’re Looking For
4-6 years of full-cycle recruiting experience across GTM roles
Have worked at a smaller, high-growth company where you wore many hats and helped shape early recruiting processes
Are comfortable with one-off or niche searches and can tailor your approach to each
Proactive about building candidate pipelines, not waiting for inbound
Bonus points: familiarity with tools like Ashby
⭐️ What We Value
We also care about whether you would be a good fit for Lumos based on the values and characteristics that define how we achieve outcomes, not just your resume.
Thank you for considering Lumos, we hope to hear from you! 🎉

Mission
This Recruiter will directly shape the future of our team. You’ll work closely with hiring managers to identify hidden talent, craft inclusive and intentional interview processes, and create a candidate experience that makes every person, whether hired or not, walk away saying “WOW!”
