About the role
Tigera secures AI agents on any Kubernetes platform, from the kernel with eBPF. With Tigera Lynx, enterprises run AI agents in production and stay in control: Lynx discovers every agent, governs every call, contains any agent that steps out of line, and keeps a record of what each one did.
Tigera created Project Calico, which secures more than 8 million Kubernetes nodes every day, and the commercial Calico platform is trusted by Global 2000 enterprises including NVIDIA, Royal Bank of Canada, Chipotle, Bloomberg, and GoDaddy.
