• Integrate and orchestrate systems into a clean, automated setup
• Own role- and group-based access structures and continuously improve permission management
• Support IT security initiatives such as firewall setup, device policies, and security best practices
• Document systems clearly and create scalable IT processes that grow with the company

• Have experience in IT administration, systems engineering, or IT operations in a startup or SaaS environment
• Think automation-first and prefer building systems over manually executing tasks
• Can script or build internal tools (e.g., via Python, APIs, low-code tools, or AI-assisted coding)
• Understand identity & access management, SaaS ecosystems, and modern cloud environments
• Care about security fundamentals and structured permission concepts
• Work independently, pragmatically, and solution-oriented
