This exciting y-combinator startup increases your organization's server and network security by ensuring employee accounts have access only to what they need. Their cloud-hosted LDAP and RADIUS systems help you bring best-practices to your infrastructure. And they're backed by existing Google Apps accounts.

This client, a YCombinator (S15) company, helps companies implement security practices in their infrastructure. Their first product offers SSH key management, LDAP, and RADIUS in the cloud to ensure that engineers and employees use their own accounts to log into servers and wireless networks.

Furthermore, they're encouraging companies to make access control API-based, so that access can be given and then rescinded as soon as possible (on-call shift over, JIRA ticket closed, etc.).

This client is looking for a Head of Engineering who has significant (10+ years) experience with building infrastructure software and operating high-uptime, high-performance systems in the cloud.
