Job description

• Protect operations where failures carry tangible stakes—from halted production lines to scrapped material and compliance risks. What you ship here has a direct impact on customers
• 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, holding the team to clean architecture, automated tests, and clear 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 — and share what works across engineering
• Make and own the 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
