The Enterprise Trust & Governance team builds the control plane that lets the world’s largest organizations deploy Perplexity broadly and with confidence. Computer and our agents work across a growing share of our customers’ environments, tools, and models. For administrators, that makes precise, enforceable control essential: who can do what, with which data, through which agents, and within what usage limits.

This team makes those controls easy to manage, reliable and consistent across every product, and transparent to the people accountable for them

This is a product and platform engineering role with end-to-end ownership, from shaping the architecture and policy models to shipping the experiences our customers’ administrators and security teams use every day. You’ll work across product and infrastructure teams to turn complex enterprise requirements into reusable primitives and intuitive controls. The scope spans identity and provisioning, fine‑granular role‑based access across connectors, tool actions, and models, customer‑managed encryption keys, admin APIs, audit logs, and policy and usage controls.

Robust governance helps enterprises move from pilots to company‑wide rollouts and gives them the confidence to entrust agents with greater responsibility over time
