Non-Human Identity & Machine Identity
Engineers managing agent and machine identities at scale. Your product has users, APIs, and now, AI agents. Every one of them needs an identity. We find the engineers who control who and what gets access to your systems, so a compromised service account or rogue agent doesn't become an extinction-level event.
Do I need an Identity Engineer?
If you're managing more than just a simple username and password login, you have an identity problem. The moment you add third-party logins, API keys for partners, or service accounts for your CI/CD pipeline, the complexity explodes. One compromised key can give an attacker access to everything.
What do they actually do?
They are the architects of trust in your system. They build and manage the systems that control access for every user and every machine. They implement SSO for your enterprise customers and ensure your AI agents have the minimum permissions they need to function, and nothing more.
When should I hire one?
When you move beyond a simple login system. If you're planning for enterprise SSO, building a public API, or deploying autonomous agents, you need a specialist. This is often a company's third or fourth security hire, after you have the cloud and application security basics covered.
