About SailPoint

SailPoint is defining the next era of identity security. Our unified, AI-powered platform seamlessly secures both the Human Fabric of your workforce and the Agentic Fabric of AI and non-human identities, completely eliminating organizational blind spots. Built on core principles like zero-standing privilege and contextualized risk, our platform transforms identity from a vulnerability into a strategic business advantage. Today, we are trusted by some of the largest, most complex organizations in the world to deliver intelligent, autonomous identity security at scale.

About the role

As an FDE Agentic Operations Engineer, you will operate at the cutting edge of AI and identity security, bridging Forward Deployed Engineering, Solution Engineering, Professional Services, and Product Management. In your day-to-day work, you will own the end-to-end execution of AI-assisted migration pipelines and demo environments. You will ingest complex customer identity artifacts, steer advanced multi-agent workflows, troubleshoot model outputs, and perform hands-on configuration within SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC). You will blend technical rigor with agentic tooling to accelerate customer time-to-value, validate AI-generated artifacts against real tenant behavior, and establish new standards for identity modernization.

About the team

You will join the Forward Deployed Engineering / Agentic Operations team, a high-impact technical group dedicated to accelerating customer onboarding and modernization through state-of-the-art AI automation. Our team builds, refines, and operates intelligent agentic pipelines that transform legacy identity environments into modern cloud architectures, collaborating closely with cross-functional partners across Sales, Product, and Engineering.
