Job summary

WorkOS is seeking a Systems Engineer to architect and automate our internal IT systems. You will design and implement identity infrastructure, including Okta and Google Workspace, and build automation that scales with a fast-growing company.

You will own macOS endpoint management, IAM tooling, and cloud infrastructure as code, collaborating with our MSP partner and cross-functional teams to reduce toil and improve reliability.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in IT systems, infrastructure, or identity engineering roles with automation at scale.
• Deep experience with Okta — Workflows, integrations, policy design, SCIM provisioning.
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash) and REST APIs, webhooks, and authentication flows.
• Hands-on Terraform for managing infrastructure and configuration as code.
• Strong macOS fleet management with MDM (Jamf, Kandji, or equivalent).
• Deep understanding of SSO protocols (SAML, OAuth 2.0) and SCIM provisioning patterns.
• Experience with Google Workspace administration at scale.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve identity infrastructure — Okta, Google Workspace, and downstream SaaS integrations.
• Architect and ship automation across the IT stack — onboarding/offboarding workflows, access controls, license governance, and SaaS lifecycle management.
• Own macOS endpoint management end-to-end — zero-touch provisioning, policy enforcement, scripting via MDM.
• Manage infrastructure as code using Terraform for identity, SaaS, and cloud resources.
• Serve as escalation point for complex systems issues (tier 2/3) with MSP partner.
