Opal is building the next generation of access management. As engineers, we've all felt the pain of getting the access we need to do our jobs, whether it's for a piece of infrastructure, a newly deployed service, or a design doc. At Opal, we’re building a central hub for authorization to simplify this spaghetti mess and make best-practice access management automated, intelligent, and easy to use.

We’re tackling a difficult product and engineering challenge. Every system has its own philosophy for access control, which makes orchestrating them with a consistent set of policies challenging. We need talented engineers who can navigate this technically complex space and help us design and build the right abstractions to solve such a universal problem.
