We (Foxpass, https://www.foxpass.com/) are a YCS15 company offering a SaaS (or on-prem) service to handle SSH key management & rotation, plus user and group management.

With our API, some customers are creating dynamic access rules (for example, an on-caller might have 'sudo' during their on-call week, but not at other times).

Like a hosted FreeIPA, but more powerful.

Foxpass (YCS15) | San Francisco, CA | FULL-TIME | ONSITE or REMOTE | Senior Software Engineer (Backend) & Account Executive

Foxpass, a YCombinator (S15) company, is looking for early employees who wish to create software to help companies implement good security practices in their infrastructure. Doing security "the right way" should be easy. Our 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 Furthermore, we're encouraging companies to make access control API-based, so that access can be given and then rescinded as soon as possible (on-call shift over, JIRA ticket closed, etc.).

We are looking for:

1) A senior back-end engineer who has significant experience with building and operating high-uptime, high-performance systems in the cloud.

2) An account executive to manage the inbound leads and convert them into happy Foxpass customers.

I didn't mention it in the original post, but Foxpass also has an LDAP endpoint so it can manage users and groups on your linux machines.

This means you can set up a linux group with sudo capabilities (sudo or wheel, usually) in /etc/sudoers. Then using Foxpass you can manage the membership of that group by adding users on a permanent or temporary basis.
