Job description

Senior Engineer - IT and Workplace Technology

The role is a hands-on senior engineer who handles identity, access and IT requests while also leading the plan to reduce them. A strong candidate has real experience with an identity provider such as Okta, including single sign-on, automatic user provisioning and joiner, mover and leaver processes. They also bring a record of automating manual work, solid judgement about least privilege, and the ability to mentor others and keep access audit-ready.

How it fits the AI era

AI can take over a lot of repetitive access and IT requests, such as routine approvals, ticket triage and drafting answers to colleagues, and this role is expected to use it that way alongside scripts and workflow tools. What stays human is deciding who should have access to what, spotting when a request needs a security review, handling exceptions, and explaining things clearly to colleagues.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers practical experience using AI and automation to shrink a real support queue, and measuring how much work it removes. Because Primer handles payments, there is also a chance to learn how to apply AI carefully in a setting where access controls and audit evidence matter. Someone can build this experience beforehand by automating a small access or onboarding task with scripts and an AI assistant, then noting the time saved.

Worth showing

• Okta SSO and SCIM setup
• Scripting and API workflows
• Access reviews and audit evidence
• Mentoring and clear writing
