Technical Product Manager- Data Engineering * Location: Bengaluru * Experience: 7–10 years * Function: Product Management-Data Platform & Engineering * Employment Type: Full-time About Zluri: Securing the AI Future Every enterprise is deploying AI agents. Almost none of them know what those agents can access. Zluri is building the Identity Control Plane for the AI Era - a unified platform that brings real-time visibility and governance to every identity in an organisation, human and non-human alike. We combine Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), Identity Visibility & Intelligence (IVIP), and Identity Governance into a single platform powered by a Context Graph architecture. While others build agents to do the work, we build the infrastructure to keep them from going rogue. We're a Series-B startup backed by Lightspeed, MassMutual Ventures, Endiya Partners, and Kalaari Capital, trusted by 200+ enterprise customers to secure their identity landscape. If you're excited to help define how the world governs identity in an AI-first future, we'd love to talk.
