Job description

Lab37 Robotics, is a technology company focused on the development and deployment of robots designed specifically for direct‑to‑customer food production. Our mission is to revolutionize the food industry by creating innovative robotic solutions that enhance efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction. We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology to deliver cutting‑edge products that meet the evolving needs of our clients.

IT Operations Manager is responsible for ensuring the company’s technology assets, including hardware, software, and subscriptions, are optimized across their full lifecycle. You’ll be the primary in‑person support for Lab37 while partnering with larger teams in our Los Angeles office to ensure all Lab37 personnel have in‑person support from their first day to their last. You’ll range from supporting account access and video conference rooms, to supporting larger IT projects as the company grows.

What you’ll do

• Identity & Access Management (IAM): Design and manage our identity lifecycle, connecting our HR system of record to Active Directory/Identity Providers to automate user provisioning, access groups, and core security workflows.
• Hardware Provisioning & Lifecycle: Personally handle the configuration, imaging, deployment, and recovery of Mac and PC laptops for local employees.
• Support new hire onboarding and training for all things IT.
• SSO & SCIM Implementation: Lead the integration of Single Sign‑On (SSO) and SCIM provisioning for core application suites to eliminate manual access checklists and enhance company security.
• Cross‑Functional Support Collaboration: Act as the primary on‑site IT leader for the Lab37 team, partnering closely with our wider help desk team in Los Angeles to triage, resolve, and Escalate technical issues.
• Application & Platform Governance: Administer and secure company productivity and developer tools (including Jira and GitHub), managing access rights, third‑party integrations, and lightweight access reviews.
• Emergency & Security Playbooks: Develop, test, and execute IT operation playbooks, including emergency offboarding protocols, data backup verification, and endpoint security.
• Video Conferencing Support/Zoom Rooms: Ensure optimal video conferencing support so teams across the country stay connected.
• Managing future budgets and contracts for future systems we may need as Lab37 grows and our needs change.

What we are looking for

• Experience: 5+ years of increasing responsibility in IT Operations, Systems Administration, or a hands‑on IT Engineering role. Experience in a fast‑paced hardware, robotics, or startup environment is a major plus.
• Identity Infrastructure: Deep hands‑on experience managing Active Directory or modern Identity Providers (IdPs) like Azure AD/Entra ID or Okta.
• Protocols & Architecture: Strong technical competency with SSO protocols (SAML, OIDC) and automated user management via SCIM.
• OS Mastery: Proven experience provisioning, troubleshooting, and managing both Windows and macOS environments.
• Technical Stack: Direct experience administering and supporting developer/engineering ecosystems—familiarity with GitHub and Jira is required; experience supporting Solidworks is a strong plus.
• Mindset: An operational builder who can strategize systems‑level workflows on a slide deck, but maintains a "no task too small" startup attitude to personally configure hardware and support day‑to‑day team needs.
• Market context: Demand for online food delivery is growing; in the last 5 years the overall market expanded 10X from \$10B to \$100B, and could expand to \$500B–\$1T by 2030.
• Industry impact: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery.
• Collaboration: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customer’s success.
