Job summary

Tulip, a leader in AI-native frontline operations, seeks an engineering leader to own identity and access in a hybrid Somerville, MA environment. You will guide a small team, define security-focused architecture, and ship reliable, multi-tenant auth systems across multi-cloud deployments.

You will apply IAM, SCIM, and SSO across AWS/Azure, mentor engineers, and push AI-driven tooling to improve verification, code quality, and deployment velocity.

Qualifications

• Hands-on with OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0, OIDC, and SCIM in enterprise environments.
• Experience building multi-tenant systems with strong tenant isolation.
• 3+ years of managing engineering teams in B2B SaaS.
• Working knowledge of IAM, secrets management, and access policy across AWS and Azure.
• Track record of shipping clean, tested code.
• Active use of AI tooling in practice.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and roadmap for identity & access — SSO/SAML/OIDC federation, SCIM provisioning, multi-tenant account structures, and the authorization layer across Tulip's multi-cloud infrastructure.
• Lead and grow a small, high-caliber team — run regular 1:1s, set quality standards, give direct feedback, and develop engineers on security-critical systems.
• Stay technically engaged through design reviews and code, automated tests, runbooks.
• Represent Identity & Access in cross-functional architecture reviews and roadmap decisions.
• Partner with Security, Infrastructure, Product, and Customer Success on enterprise compliance and tenant isolation.
• Drive adoption of AI tooling in how the team builds — code review, test generation, spec drafting, and agent loops.
• Make and own hard tradeoffs on IAM and access policy where tenant isolation and enterprise compliance are non-negotiable.
• Ship work that reaches customers quickly and reliably, with operational excellence as the default.
