Software Engineer

Company Description Ambient Security is an AI-native identity security platform focused on continuously reducing privileged identity risk across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments. The platform helps organizations address modern identity-based threats by discovering privileged identities, analyzing risk, removing unnecessary access, and enforcing Just-in-Time access only when elevated privilege is required. Unlike traditional PAM tools that primarily manage standing privilege, Ambient Security is designed to shrink the identity attack surface through identity visibility, privileged access management, and agentic AI security. By governing human, non-human, and agentic identities, the platform enables enterprises to improve compliance, enhance audit readiness, and operationalize least privilege at scale. Ambient Security supports modern organizations in moving from static access management to continuous identity risk reduction.

Role Description This is a full-time, on-site Software Engineer role based in Bengaluru. The Software Engineer will design, develop, and maintain back-end services and components that power Ambient Security's identity security platform, with a focus on reliability, scalability, and performance.

Day-to-day responsibilities include writing clean, testable code, implementing APIs and microservices, integrating with cloud and enterprise systems, and collaborating with product, security, and DevOps teams to deliver new features and improvements. The role involves participating in code reviews, troubleshooting production issues, optimizing existing modules, and contributing to architectural decisions that support continuous identity risk reduction. The Software Engineer will also help improve engineering practices, documentation, and automation to support secure, efficient software delivery.
