About the role

We are looking for an IT Systems Engineer to build and secure the identity and access management (IAM) and mobile device management (MDM) systems for employees who build agents and internal tools every day.

• Build scripts, API integrations, and automation across Okta, MDM, Google Workspace, Slack, and IT service management systems, using AI to write and troubleshoot code and reviewing its output before it ships
• Partner with Security on least-privilege access that lets employees connect agents and internal tools to company systems safely, along with device security standards and access reviews, and serve as the escalation point for complex identity and device issues

What you need

• 7+ years of hands-on IT systems engineering experience, with deep expertise in either IAM or MDM and working knowledge of the other

• Configured and operated an MDM platform such as Jamf, Kandji/Iru, or Intune
• Wrote automation in Python or Bash against APIs, and used AI to build and troubleshoot it, reviewing generated code before deploying
