Role
Who you are
- You're an engineering leader who cares about getting security-critical systems right and who wants to reach customers fast, not sit buried in a backlog
- You think in specs and failure modes, you stay close to the code, and you're already using AI tooling to change how your team builds, not just how quickly they move
- You'll take over a small, strong team and own how the world's most demanding manufacturers authenticate, provision, and govern access for their people and, increasingly, the AI agents acting on their behalf
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with direct involvement building and operating security-critical or identity/access systems in production
- 3+ years of people management experience leading a software team, where you've hired, given constructive feedback, and grown engineers
- Hands-on depth with OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0, OIDC, and SCIM in enterprise environments — you understand the specs and their failure modes, not just the libraries
- Experience building multi-tenant systems where tenant isolation is a hard requirement
- Working knowledge of IAM, secrets management, and access policy across AWS and Azure, including the tradeoffs when customers span both
- A track record of shipping clean, tested code and holding a team to the same standard
- Active use of AI tooling in your own practice, with a point of view on how it changes the way teams build
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent working experience
What the job involves
- 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
Our take
Tulip Interfaces' frontline operations platform is a connected data and process management tool that lets manufacturers create their own visual and interactive apps that connect with machines, tools, sensors, people and the systems used in a production or logistics process in a physical location.
Tulip gives frontline engineers the ability to address their own shop floor needs, guiding workflows and adapting the apps as things change or improvements are made. Customers only pay for the stations they need, driving better cost efficiencies and the ability to start small and scale up. Its no-code platform and powerful integrations allow connection to new and legacy machinery as well as leveraging the Internet of Things. This has attracted partnerships with the likes of Microsoft and AWS.
Tulip aims to be a next-generation leader in frontline operations, which currently represents a $150B market opportunity. The company's next steps include integrating the recently acquired smart search company Akooda into its platform, as well as further expansion into small and medium enterprise businesses in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It plans to significantly increase its headcount to support growth as the low/no code platform marketplace is tipped to hit more than $84 billion by 2027.
