At Sonatus, we’re driving the transformation to AI-enabled software-defined vehicles. Traditional automotive software methods can’t keep pace with consumer expectations shaped by the mobile industry—where features evolve rapidly, update seamlessly, and improve continuously. That’s why leading OEMs trust Sonatus to accelerate this shift. Our technology is already in production across more than 6 million vehicles on the road today and rapidly expanding.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, with 250+ employees worldwide, Sonatus combines the agility of a fast-growing company with the scale and impact of an established partner. Backed by strong funding and proven by global deployment, we’re solving some of the most interesting and complex challenges in the industry. Join us and help redefine what’s possible as we shape the future of mobility.

We got here by being scrappy. Now it’s time to build IT like an engineering org: real automation, repeatable workflows, and self-service systems that scale without scaling the team.

This is the first dedicated automation hire on our IT team. You won’t inherit a pile of legacy tooling or spend your day in a ticket queue. You’ll design how identity and IT operations work at this company from the ground up — deciding the architecture, writing the code, and owning the outcome.

If you love building integrations and automating away manual work, this is a greenfield canvas with the autonomy to match. You’ll report to the Global IT Manager.

Responsibilities

~1 min read
  • Build the user lifecycle from scratch. Architect end-to-end provisioning and deprovisioning by integrating our HRIS, IdP, and core apps (D365, BambooHR, Expensify, Google Workspace, JumpCloud) over REST APIs.
  • Write real code. Python bridges, sync scripts, and internal tooling that eliminate manual IT work — with the logging, alerting, idempotency, and error handling of production software.
  • Own the automation roadmap. Partner directly with the Global IT Manager to decide what to automate next, prioritizing systemic fixes over manual maintenance.
  • Make IT self-service. Build workflows so the org provisions, requests, and resolves common needs without a human in the loop.
  • Own the automation and architectural health of our identity & device stack. Manage JumpCloud (IdP + MDM) to secure the fleet and enforce granular, automated access controls.
  • Use modern, AI-assisted tooling. We expect you to lean on AI to ship faster — it’s part of how we work, not something we’re nervous about.
  • Document and harden. Maintain clear records for the systems and workflows you build so they outlast any single person.

We care more about what you can build than the exact boxes you check. The strongest signal is a track record of automating real workflows between systems.

  • Minimum 5 years in IT systems / operations engineering, or a related builder role.
  • Hands-on API integration experience in Python — you’ve connected systems that didn’t ship a prebuilt integration.
  • Experience automating user provisioning / deprovisioning between an HRIS and an IdP.
  • Experience working with relational databases (e.g., SQLite, MySQL) and writing SQL queries to support automation, reporting, and system integrations.
  • Proficiency with Git for version control, collaborative development, code reviews, and change management.
  • Comfort in writing, debugging code, and configuring systems to create self-service tooling.
  • Strong written and verbal communication — you can document and explain what you build.
  • You can juggle multiple projects, prioritize well, and work with minimal hand-holding.

Nice to Have

  • Working knowledge of IdP protocols — SAML, SCIM, LDAP, RADIUS.
  • Managing a global identity stack across regions.
  • Exposure to IT governance or data privacy frameworks (ISO 27001, GDPR).
