About You and The Role 

We are looking for a Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer to help design, operate, automate, and scale the systems that support our employees and business operations. This role will provide technical ownership and direction for several of our core enterprise platforms, including Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, endpoint management, and the API integrations that connect our internal systems. You will set technical standards, make architecture decisions, and lead complex improvements across these systems while maintaining a secure, reliable, scalable, and highly automated IT environment. A key focus of this role will be designing and maturing identity and access management capabilities across the organization, including role-based access control, automated software provisioning, and scalable joiner, mover, and leaver workflows. You will establish patterns and standards that can be consistently operated and extended as the company grows. The ideal candidate has deep experience administering modern SaaS platforms, strong scripting and automation skills, a strong understanding of modern identity standards, and hands-on experience managing infrastructure in a public cloud environment such as AWS or Google Cloud Platform. You have demonstrated sound technical judgment and can design scalable solutions for complex, cross-system problems. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who is comfortable serving as a technical lead for critical systems, resolving ambiguous cross-system issues, making architectural tradeoffs, and partnering across IT, Security, Engineering, and business teams. You will also provide technical guidance and mentorship to other members of the IT team.
