The Role
As a Staff IT Engineer, you will be a technical leader responsible for driving efficiency and scale across the entire corporate IT infrastructure and enterprise ecosystem. You will design, build, and maintain mission-critical automation solutions that eliminate manual processes, enhance security posture, and improve the employee experience globally. This role requires deep engineering expertise, an IT product mindset for automation, and the ability to mentor junior team members while tackling the organization's most complex integration and scaling challenges. You will work directly with IT leadership, Security leadership, and department heads across the company.
Operating at the intersection of healthcare AI and enterprise IT, you will be expected to architect and enforce automation standards that meet the rigorous demands of a HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2-audited environment.

Workflow Automation: Develop scalable, resilient workflow automation solutions to streamline critical business processes, including onboarding/offboarding, access requests, compliance enforcement, and self-service IT support.
-
API and Integration Development: Serve as the subject matter expert for integrating disparate systems by building robust, fault-tolerant connections using APIs and event-driven architectures.
-
Identity and Access Management (IAM): Drive automation within the IAM infrastructure, focusing on automated role assignment, least-privilege policy enforcement, and audit-friendly logging of authentication and authorization events.
