This role is located in Budapest, Hungary - We are a hybrid work environment and are in the office 3+ days/per week.
Tulip brings modern technology and AI into manufacturing - a sector that drives 15% of global GDP and employs one in seven workers, 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 who build things. Because we are human-centered and tech-obsessed, we are building a future of work where human ingenuity is nourished and amplified with the latest technology.

It's a rare moment to join. In January 2026 we became one of Boston's few new AI unicorns, reaching a $1.3B valuation at Series D, and we're growing double digits in revenue year over year.

Headquartered in Somerville, MA with offices in Germany, Hungary, Singapore, Japan, and Israel, we've been named a World Economic Forum Global Innovator, a Gartner leader, and one of Built In Boston's "Best Places to Work."
