Loving every second of this journey with Veza, great company to work for and even better people to work with!

Agreed. It's a great company,and it's rewarding to be building something that is desperately needed and will have lasting positive impacts.

It's remarkable that cloud providers don't offer a simple authorization-centric view of data access today. It reminds me of AWS's hands-off approach to locking down S3 buckets for so long. They are happy to sell you the gun and ammo and it's not their fault when you shoot yourself in the foot.

I was at (even a small) Azure shop for a while, and I'm not sure anyone could easily tell who could get at what, and why, as contractors came and went. The ability to see clearly into authorization across systems would be instrumental to making sense of years of inconsistently applied (or iterative at best) access controls.

I'm biased, because I'm an engineer here. But two thoughts: 1. This is an exciting space to work in right now; you can expect tons of innovation from Veza (and others) in the years to come (@nicoleperlroth here https://twitter.com/nicoleperlroth/status/151934248244565196...) 2. Veza, in particular, is a great place to be if you like to tackle challenging problems, and, well, build! We are a world-class team of startup veterans and ex-FANNG engineers, and always hiring.
