We empower thousands of companies across the globe by providing unparalleled identity security of their human and digital workforce's. Our mission is to ensure every worker has precisely the right access to do their job—no more, no less.

At the core of our success is the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Platform.

This is a critical, high-impact role where you will be responsible for the foundational data infrastructure that powers all of SailPoint's AI-driven insights and intelligent features.

This is not just another data platform role. You will be at the heart of identity security, working with one of the most comprehensive identity data sets in the world.

For the AI Platform, you will own delivery of the core AI tools that enable other product teams—including our Harbor Pilot teams -- to build and deploy their own AI-powered features. Your platform will provide the leverage that multiplies the efforts of our entire R&D organization, ensuring consistency, quality, and speed. Success in this role means empowering SailPoint to deliver smarter, faster, and more predictive identity security solutions to our customers.

• Be effectively leading your team, managing the product backlog, and making strategic trade-off decisions that align with SailPoint's broader business goals.

• Oversee the delivery of the first scalable data platform solutions under your new roadmap, demonstrating immediate value to your internal stakeholders.

• Implement data-driven processes to track platform usage, performance, and adoption, using these insights to guide continuous optimization.

• Have successfully delivered significant new platform capabilities that are being actively used by multiple product teams to launch innovative, AI-powered features.

• Act as a key evangelist and thought leader for SailPoint's data strategy, confidently articulating the platform's vision and value both internally and externally.

• Proven experience with cloud-based software (SaaS) and a deep understanding of agent-based technologies.

• Deep expertise across the data technology landscape, including relational/non-relational databases, large-scale data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake), and modern streaming systems (e.g., Kafka, Flink).
