Identity Governance​/Lifecycle Management; LCM Architect

Veza is the pioneer in identity security, purpose‑built to answer the fundamental question enterprises face: who can and should take what action on what data. Veza's Access Graph platform maps an organization's entire identity ecosystem across users, groups, roles, policies, permissions, and resources providing deep visibility and control over human, non‑human, and agentic identities across SaaS, cloud, on‑prem, and custom applications.

With over 30 billion access permissions under management, global enterprises including Blackstone, Expedia, and Wynn Resorts trust Veza to manage privileged access monitoring, non‑human identity security, access entitlement management, and next‑generation identity governance.

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, Veza is now part of the Service Now family, with the acquisition closing in March 2026. The combination brings together Veza's AI‑native Access Graph with Service Now's AI Control Tower and agentic workflows, enabling organizations to enforce end‑to‑end identity security rooted in the principle of least privilege across applications, data, cloud environments, and AI agents.

For engineers joining Veza today, this means the scale and resources of an enterprise platform company, with the product velocity and mission‑driven focus of a security innovator at a pivotal moment in the industry.
