Senior Application Administrator

Company Description Ambient Security is an AI-native identity security platform focused on reducing privileged identity risk across cloud, SaaS, and on-premise environments. The platform helps organizations regain control over identities by continuously discovering privileged accounts, analyzing risk, and enforcing Just-in-Time access when elevated permissions are necessary. By emphasizing the reduction of standing privilege rather than simply managing it, Ambient Security enables enterprises to shrink their identity attack surface and improve audit readiness. The solution brings together identity visibility, privileged access management, and agentic AI security to govern human, non-human, and agentic identities at scale. Modern enterprises rely on Ambient Security to move from static access management to continuous identity risk reduction.
