But first, our values
About the Role
~1 min read- 7–10 years in IT engineering, corporate infrastructure, or a related discipline, with demonstrated ownership of systems end to end in a large or fast-growing organization
- Endpoint engineering across macOS and Windows, including MDM and fleet-scale configuration management
- Identity platform experience — Okta and/or Google Workspace preferred, though any IdP works — including SSO, SCIM, and lifecycle automation
- Corporate networking and secure access — Wi-Fi, VPN, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, firewall fundamentals — plus hands-on experience with SASE, conditional access, and device trust
- An AI-native approach to the work — you already use AI to write code, troubleshoot, and automate, with a clear sense of where it adds value — backed by real scripting ability (Python, Bash, PowerShell) and comfort with APIs
- Strong people skills and a service mindset — you take complex escalations yourself and handle them with patience, clarity, and genuine care for the person on the other end
Nice to Have
~3 min read- Experience in financial services or another regulated environment, including SOC 2, FINRA/SEC, or similar control frameworks and audit cycles
- Experience supporting a fleet of 500+ endpoints, or a company through a period of rapid headcount growth
- Experience standing up or replacing a core IT system — an IdP, MDM, or ITSM platform — rather than only operating one
- Experience building internal tooling or AI-assisted workflows for IT operations
- Infrastructure-as-code or configuration management experience (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
- Exposure to M&A integration, office buildouts, or other IT work driven by company growth
