Staff Security Engineer, Privileged Access (PAM)

We’re hiring a Staff Security Engineer focused on Privileged Access and Access Automation to build Nscale’s privileged access operating model across enterprise systems, SaaS administration, infrastructure, production environments, source control, data platforms, and emergency access paths.

This role sits inside the identity control plane and is intentionally execution-focused. You’ll work across Identity, Endpoint, Security Data, Network Security, Platform Engineering, IT, and service owners to turn privileged access into a practical engineering mechanism with request, approval, justification, time-bound elevation, session or event evidence, automated revocation, break-glass, and clean audit trails.

This role is critical because standing privilege is one of the highest-risk patterns in a fast-growing infrastructure company. Your work will help make privileged access secure, fast, measurable, and recoverable so engineers can move quickly without relying on manual reviews, tribal knowledge, or permanent admin rights.
