About the role

At Keycard, data isn't exhaust - it's core to the product.
You'll balance streaming and batch paradigms - knowing when low-latency streaming is essential and when batch provides clarity and power.
Your work will span from integrating external data sources to enabling policy evaluation to surfacing insights in dashboards and APIs.

We're hiring a Staff Data Engineer to design and build the operational data systems that power Keycard - the pipelines, storage layers, and APIs that drive near real-time enforcement, feedback loops, and customer insights.
You'll have deep autonomy, accountability to deliver, and the chance to shape the data architecture of a category-defining company from the ground up.
The systems you build will serve both the transactional needs of our core identity services and the OLAP requirements that help organizations understand and improve their security posture.
Build at the Frontier: Work every day at the frontier of agent-native systems - shipping, inventing, and iterating on technology that hasn't been built before.
Truly Agent-Native Culture: At Keycard, we don't just enable others to adopt agents - we use them ourselves to build.
Keycard is building the fundamental unlock for the next generation of software: enabling truly secure and trusted agentic applications.
You'll collaborate with the founders and investors who have championed identity, security, and developer tools from seed to scale with companies like Snyk, Auth0, and Heroku.

You have strong experience designing resilient pipelines that balance streaming and batch paradigms.
You know when to use streaming for low-latency enforcement and when batch provides clarity and power, and you've built systems that satisfy both transactional and analytical requirements.
Experience designing and shipping developer-facing APIs, SDKs, or tools that expose data systems in ergonomic and powerful ways.

Compensation With Upside: Market-competitive salaries and generous equity packages (4-year vest, 1-year cliff) give you the security to focus on building — and the asymmetric upside of ownership in a company chasing a category-defining mi

Comprehensive Benefits & Recharge: Health, dental, vision, and paramedical coverage for you and your family, plus 4 weeks vacation, 11 statutory holidays, and 1 volunteer day annually.
Tools That Keep You Ahead: A new MacBook Pro, a $500 stipend for peripherals, and the best AI tools available so you can work at the forefront of agent-native workflows.

At Keycard, we don't just enable others to adopt agents - we use them ourselves to build.
You'll help shape an organization that embeds AI into its foundation as an enduring competitive advantage.
We are a remote-first team prioritizing asynchronous collaboration, with hiring focused in North and South America.
