Cloud Security Engineer

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.

Tulip brings modern technology and AI into manufacturing. Manufacturing accounts for almost 20% of the global economy and one in every seven workers on Earth, yet remains among the least digitized. More than a decade ago, we created the category to close that gap: AI-native software that puts cutting-edge tools directly in the hands of the people on the manufacturing front lines. Because we are human-centered and tech-obsessed, we are building a future of work where human ingenuity is amplified with the latest technology.

In January 2026 we became one of Boston's few new AI unicorns, reaching a $1.3B valuation. We're growing double digits in revenue year over year. The world's best manufacturers run on Tulip - turning inventory 10x faster, releasing gene therapies in hours instead of weeks, and training master craftspeople to forge engagement rings 5x more rapidly. Headquartered in Somerville, MA with offices in Germany, Hungary, Singapore, Japan, and Israel, we've been consistently named a World Economic Forum Global Innovator, a Gartner leader, and one of Built In Boston's "Best Places to Work."

We run the way we build: AI-forward, humanistic, and high ownership. We're looking for builders who are energized by complex problems, rapid cycles, and the unique opportunity to see their impact on a global scale.

You’re a hands-on Security Engineer who partners closely with Infrastructure and Product Engineering teams and acts as a subject matter expert across a broad range of security domains.

- Building and managing security controls as code with Terraform and Python, or similar

- Authoring and tuning detections and SIEM rules, and running vulnerability and container-image scanning in CI

- Working knowledge of a compliance framework such as FedRAMP, ISO 27001, or SOC 2, and the evidence practices behind it

- Nice to have: incident response or forensics experience, threat modeling of new services, or running internal security exercises

- Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent working experience

Key Responsibilities:

- Design, build, and maintain security controls as code across our cloud environments, including posture hardening and account-level guardrails
