Senior Engineering Manager, Identity & Access

About the role

This role is located in Somerville, MA - We are a hybrid work environment and are in the office 3+ days/per week.

Key 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, 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.
