The posting

SailPoint is defining how identity security works for humans, machines, and AI agents. As Director of Product Architecture, you will be the senior technical authority for authorization-related products across our product portfolio. You will own the architectural vision and drive its adoption across product teams. This is a hands-on IC role with company-wide influence, reporting directly to Chief Product Officer.

What you’ll do

  • Define and evolve SailPoint’s authorization architecture, covering policy models, enforcement points, and delegation across the platform, for both human and agentic identities.
  • Set the technical direction for how authorization capabilities are built once and reused across product teams, so customers get one coherent experience.
  • Work with Engineering and Product Management to turn architecture into roadmap, and to resolve cross-team design conflicts.
  • Track and shape emerging standards and protocols (OAuth 2.x, token exchange, MCP, Shared Signals/CAEP, policy languages such as Cedar and OPA) and decide where SailPoint leads and where it adopts.
  • Support analyst, customer, and field conversations with credible technical depth, including CISO and CIO audiences.
  • Produce clear architecture artifacts, reference designs, and technical narratives that product, engineering, and GTM teams can act on.

What you bring

  • 12+ years in software architecture or product architecture, with significant depth in authorization, access control, or identity and access management.
  • Strong command of authorization models (RBAC, ABAC, ReBAC, policy-as-code), modern identity protocols, and distributed systems design.
  • Experience shipping enterprise security or identity products at scale.
  • A track record of driving alignment across multiple teams without direct authority.
  • Exposure to AI agent security, non-human identity, or API and gateway enforcement is a strong plus.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to explain complex architecture to executives, customers, and engineers alike.

Success looks like

  • A single, well-understood authorization architecture adopted across the product teams.
  • Faster, more consistent delivery of authorization capabilities, with less duplicated effort.
  • SailPoint recognized by customers and analysts as a leader in authorization for the agentic era.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
