Job description

About Opendoor

At Opendoor our mission is to tilt the world in favor of homeowners and those who aim to become one. Homeownership matters. It's how people build wealth, stability, and community. It's how families put down roots, how neighborhoods strengthen, how the future gets built. We're building the modern system of homeownership giving people the freedom to buy and sell on their own terms. We’ve built an end-to-end online experience that has already helped thousands of people and we’re just getting started.

About The Role

The IT Systems Specialist team owns the systems, tools, and processes that keep Opendoor’s employees productive, secure, and connected. Our work spans endpoint management, identity and access, SaaS applications, office technology, and workplace infrastructure.

As an IT Specialist, you’ll serve as a global systems administrator and technical owner for our Toronto office. You’ll architect and administer endpoint and identity platforms, manage enterprise device and application lifecycles, investigate complex system-level technical issues, and partner with IT Engineering and Security on escalated or cross-functional initiatives.

This role is ideal for someone with a systems-administration mindset who enjoys improving reliability, automating repeatable work, strengthening security controls, and building scalable processes. You’ll provide hands‑on technical support when needed, but your primary focus will be administration, and continuous improvement of core identity and endpoint infrastructure and other core employee tooling systems.

• Monitor system health and develop advanced automations, documentation, and processes that improve reliability and reduce manual work.
• Partner with Workplace, Security, and Engineering on network architecture and workspace tech integration. Contribute to onboarding and offboarding automation, access reviews, change management, and defined on‑call coverage.
• Act as an escalation contact for critical office infrastructure outages.
