Role summary
Tulip, a leader in AI-native frontline operations, is seeking a hands-on Cloud Security Engineer in Somerville, MA. This hybrid role involves partnering with Infrastructure and Product Engineering teams to enhance cloud security, detection, and vulnerability management. You will operate primarily in AWS, build security controls as code using Terraform and Python, and mature the company's security posture. Key responsibilities include designing and maintaining security controls, owning vulnerability management, tuning detections, building SIEM pipelines, and supporting compliance efforts like FedRAMP. The role requires 5+ years of experience in security engineering with a focus on cloud security.
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.
About You:
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. As part of Tulip’s Security team, you'll improve and expand our cloud, detection, and vulnerability-management work that keeps our platform and our customers safe. You will operate primarily in AWS, build and automate security controls as code (Terraform, Lambda/Python), and help mature the security posture of our environment.
