Job description

This position is ideally based on-site at our offices in Portland, Oregon , though we are open to a hybrid/remote arrangement with quarterly visits to our Portland office.

Key Responsibilities

• We’re looking for an IT Engineer to join our growing IT team. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role sitting alongside our IT Support function. You’ll be both a builder and a doer. You’ll architect and drive the systems that underpin how our team works, while staying deeply connected to the day-to-day realities of on-site infrastructure.
• We’re looking for a self-starter to lead our major IT initiatives that will enable the company to grow and scale gracefully. This work includes zero-touch deployment for Windows and macOS, BYOD support for mobile devices, context-aware device access policies, and implementing controls to facilitate compliance with an established security framework. You’ll also serve as an escalation point and mentor for our team of IT Support Specialists, and act as a subject matter expect in our physical office technology — from access control to printers to patch panels.
• This is an on-site role in our Portland office. You should be comfortable operating at multiple levels: one day you’re writing configuration profiles to automate workstation security, the next you’re installing A/V equipment and running patch cables.

Requirements

• Experience administering endpoint management for mixed Windows/macOS environments (MDM, device compliance, app deployment)
• Experience managing identity and access in a modern IdP (user lifecycle, group policy, conditional/context-aware access)
• Practical networking and on-site IT skills (switching/Wi-Fi basics, cabling/patching, troubleshooting in a real office)
• Ability to write clear documentation and turn policies into concrete, enforceable technical controls
• Comfort working across abstraction layers—designing systems one day, swapping hardware the next
• Experience administering a modern MDM solution, such as InTune, Jamf, JumpCloud, Inu, etc.
• Experience administering a modern IdP solution, such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, or Google Workspace
• Experience implementing SSO and provisioning integrations (SAML, SCIM) across SaaS tools
• Familiarity with zero trust concepts and how they translate into endpoint and identity controls
• Experience supporting or implementing a security/compliance framework (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or equivalent)
• Experience with endpoint telemetry and responding to security alerts (triage, remediation, root cause)
• Experience owning access control systems, conference room/AV setups, and vendor coordination for office IT projects
• If hired for this full-time role, you will receive:
• Cash compensation of $120,000 - $160,000
• Equity in the company. We’re all owners and if we’re successful, this equity should be far and away the most valuable component of your compensation.
• A benefits package that helps you take care of yourself and your family, including: Flexible paid time off Health insurance (the company pays 100% of gold level PPO plan for full time employees, their partners, and dependents) Dental insurance (the company pays 100% for full time employees and 100% for their partners and dependents) Vision insurance (the company pays 100% for full time employees, their partners, and dependents) Disability insurance (the company pays 100% for a policy to provide long term financial support if you become disabled) Ability to contribute to tax-advantaged accounts, including 401(k), health FSA, and dependent care FSA
• Relocation assistance to facilitate your move to Portland (if needed).
