IT Systems Engineer

About Thatch

For most people, health insurance is something that happens to them: a plan chosen by someone else, with little room to fit their life. Thatch is changing that. We help companies give every employee a real healthcare budget instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, so people can choose the coverage and care that works for them, and employers get predictable costs they can control.

It’s a simple idea, but making it real means solving hard problems across healthcare, payments, and technology, and we’re just getting started. We look for people who like solving complex problems, use good judgment, and are comfortable working through ambiguity. People here care deeply about our customers, take real responsibility for what gets built, and are driven by doing work that matters.

About the role

At Thatch, technology is how our teams get their work done, securely and without friction. As our IT Ops/Systems Engineer, you'll own the systems and access infrastructure that keeps the company running: endpoint compliance, identity and access management, and the operational backbone behind our security initiatives. This role goes beyond day-to-day support. You'll be the owner of company-wide compliance, conditional access and privileged access workflows in a Mac-first environment, with the autonomy to build the systems and automation that let us scale securely. If you want real ownership over how a fast-growing technology company manages access and identity, this role is for you.

What you'll do

• Own our technology stack including Okta, Iru, Mac, iOS, Android, Rippling MDM/SSO, 1Password, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Slack, Zoom, Linear, and Notion
• Drive endpoint fleet compliance to 100% coverage across MDM, EDR, and DLP, and own remediation when devices fall out of compliance
• Administer conditional access policies (device trust, managed browser enforcement) and own the exception and escalation process when legitimate access gets blocked
• Own the Privileged Access Management (PAM) workflow, including replacing manual quarterly access reviews with automated request, approval, and time-bound removal
• Run trusted device and MFA enrollment, and lead remediation campaigns for weak or breached passwords
• Own the complete employee lifecycle experience from onboarding through offboarding, managing access control, hardware provisioning, and audit-ready documentation
• Vet and administer new SaaS tooling for SSO/IdP compliance as part of vendor onboarding, expose and remediate shadow IT
• Build and maintain a knowledge base that empowers employees to solve common issues independently
• Identify and build automation for repetitive IT and access-management tasks
