About SailPoint

SailPoint is defining the next era of identity security. Our unified, AI-powered platform seamlessly secures both the Human Fabric of your workforce and the Agentic Fabric of AI and non-human identities, completely eliminating organizational blind spots. Built on core principles like zero-standing privilege and contextualized risk, our platform transforms identity from a vulnerability into a strategic business advantage. Today, we are trusted by some of the largest, most complex organizations in the world to deliver intelligent, autonomous identity security at scale.

About the role

As an FDE Agentic Operations Engineer, you will operate at the cutting edge of AI and identity security, bridging Forward Deployed Engineering, Solution Engineering, Professional Services, and Product Management. In your day-to-day work, you will own the end-to-end execution of AI-assisted migration pipelines and demo environments. You will ingest complex customer identity artifacts, steer advanced multi-agent workflows, troubleshoot model outputs, and perform hands-on configuration within SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC). You will blend technical rigor with agentic tooling to accelerate customer time-to-value, validate AI-generated artifacts against real tenant behavior, and establish new standards for identity modernization.

About the team

You will join the Forward Deployed Engineering / Agentic Operations team, a high-impact technical group dedicated to accelerating customer onboarding and modernization through state-of-the-art AI automation. Our team builds, refines, and operates intelligent agentic pipelines that transform legacy identity environments into modern cloud architectures, collaborating closely with cross-functional partners across Sales, Product, and Engineering.

• Produce complete Sales Engineer (SE)-ready demonstration packages, including runbooks, walkthrough scripts, and technical summaries.

6 months:

• Autonomously manage end-to-end customer proof-of-value (POV) tenant builds and complex legacy migration data flows.
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales Engineering, Product, and Professional Services to resolve customer-specific identity challenges.
• Contribute enhancements to internal agentic prompts, evaluation benchmarks, and automation scripts (Python/Bash) to boost pipeline accuracy and throughput.
• Diagnose and elevate recurring platform or agent tooling bugs with reproducible test cases and remediation recommendations.

1 year:

• Serve as a subject matter expert for agentic operations, driving best practices for prompt engineering and multi-agent orchestration across the team.
• Architect and deploy new automation tooling, reusable workflows, and evaluation checks that shorten deployment cycles for enterprise migrations.
