Job summary

Triumph is building its IT function from the ground up, with a hands-on, greenfield role spanning networks, endpoints, and identity. You’ll establish a secure, scalable IT foundation across our SF and Mountain View offices, coordinating with contractors and provisioning new hires from day one.

The role is onsite and requires weekly inter-office commuting. You’ll drive AI-enabled automation to reduce repetitive work, implement robust identity and access controls, and design systems that scale as

Qualifications

• Deep, hands-on knowledge of corporate networking (VLANs, switching, WiFi), endpoint management (MDM, device lifecycle), and identity platforms like Okta (SSO, MFA, RBAC).
• A track record of owning infrastructure projects end to end and then handing the ongoing operation to the right team — you build systems, not queues.
• Comfort with physical office buildout: network cabling, fiber runs, and coordinating contractors on site.
• You think in programs rather than tickets, and you're equally happy with a terminal or a cable tester in your hand.
• Fluency with AI tooling as a daily working habit, not an experiment.
• Equally, judgment about where AI falls short. You know which decisions can be handed to a model and which need a person in the loop, and you design the checkpoint deliberately rather than discovering the need for it after something goes wrong.
• Comfort being the first and only person in a function — you're excited to set direction rather than inherit it, and you drive work to completion without a playbook handed to you.
• Interest in growing into security-adjacent work over time — device compliance, access governance — while keeping the core IT foundation as the priority.

Responsibilities

• Build out our corporate network end to end — VLANs, switching, segmentation, and WiFi across both offices.
• Own endpoint management and device lifecycle across the fleet, from provisioning through MDM to patching and clean deprovisioning.
• Stand up and mature our corporate identity program on Okta, driving SSO and MFA coverage across an expanding set of SaaS applications.
• Build the identity lifecycle process end to end, so a new hire is fully provisioned on day one and fully deprovisioned the day they leave.
• Design and deploy AV and conferencing for our meeting rooms, so Google Meet and Zoom just work every time.
• Run the physical buildout of office space — fiber, cabling, subcontractor and vendor coordination, and WiFi from empty floor to working.
• Automate the mundane. Use AI aggressively to take repetitive IT work off the board — provisioning, access reviews, ticket triage, asset reconciliation, reporting — so the function scales without adding headcount, and design the human checkpoints for the steps where being wrong is expensive.
