Job Details

Join Us in Defining the Future of Identity Security: VP of Engineering, Enterprise Platform
At SailPoint, we are at the forefront of transforming enterprise identity governance. With our next-generation Atlas Platform, we are creating the industry’s most advanced, AI-powered identity security platform. Our mission is clear: unify and simplify identity management across humans, machines, and AI agents, just as CMDB revolutionized IT asset management.
Atlas is a productized, externally-facing platform built for customers, not just internal users. We are looking for someone with experience scaling an externally facing, multi-actor platform.

We're looking for a VP of Engineering, Enterprise Platform to lead the engineering vision and execution behind our unified platform, Atlas. This role is more than a job — it's an invitation to build the platform that will define the next era of enterprise cybersecurity.

Why This Role Matters:

As organizations accelerate digital transformation, identity is the new perimeter. From employees and contractors to cloud workloads and AI agents, the complexity of securing access has never been greater. Atlas is our answer to this challenge: a dynamic platform combining identity unification, graph-based intelligence, real-time policy enforcement, and extensibility at scale.
You will:
  • Lead and grow a world-class engineering organization responsible for the foundational services of Atlas
  • Define and evolve platform architecture to enable real-time access intelligence, policy automation, and extensibility
  • Champion an API-first platform strategy to empower our developer and partner ecosystem
  • Drive execution across scalable microservices, GraphQL APIs, event-driven pipelines, and AI/ML-integrated services
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams — Product, Design, Security, and Field — to turn vision into reality
What You’ll Own:
  • Core platform components: identity services, knowledge graphs, workflow engine, and data pipelines
  • Engineering strategy for extensibility, scale, observability, and developer experience
  • Developer platform capabilities including SDKs, APIs, integration tooling, and marketplace components
  • Innovation pipeline for low-code capabilities, customizable UI, policy engine, and AI/ML extensibility
What We’re Looking For:
  • Proven leadership in building and leading high-performing platform engineering teams
  • Deep experience in cloud-native architecture, identity/security platforms, or large-scale data systems
  • Passion for elegant API design, developer experience, and enabling customer/partner ecosystems
  • Ability to inspire and align high-performing teams across locations and functions
  • Experience integrating graph databases (e.g., Neo4j), event-driven systems, or AI/ML pipelines a plus
Why Join Us:
  • You’ll shape the future of an industry—this isn’t about incremental features, it’s about defining a category
  • Work alongside passionate, top-tier technologists solving real, hard, and impactful problems
  • Lead with autonomy while enjoying strong executive sponsorship and investment
  • Collaborate on a platform used by thousands of enterprises, millions of identities, and countless security-critical workflows

Requirements:

  • 15+ years of engineering leadership experience
  • BS in CS or related field preferred
If you’re ready to architect the future of identity security, we want to build it with you.
