Job summary

Read AI is hiring a Security & IT Systems Engineer to own IT and security operations, turning a manual support queue into engineered systems that scale. You’ll manage laptops, MDM, identity administration, and the office network, while collaborating with a security team to raise the overall security posture.

The role emphasizes building automated workflows, writing code in Python/Go/TypeScript, and using Terraform to manage infrastructure. Hybrid presence in Seattle is required.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in IT operations or similar hands-on role with ownership of systems.
• Hands-on experience administering an MDM platform (FleetDM, Jamf, Kandji, Intune) and macOS fleets at scale.
• Practical identity administration experience: Google Workspace or Okta, SSO/SAML/SCIM integrations.
• Demonstrated automation ability — written scripts or services replacing manual processes.
• Working familiarity with AWS and cloud access models.
• Strong service instincts: patient with interruptions, clear in writing, organized to protect project time.
• Based in the Seattle area and able to work on a hybrid schedule, including in-person support and physical equipment duties.

Responsibilities

• Own the laptop fleet end to end: procurement, imaging, hardware and OS refresh cycles, and support.
• Administer FleetDM MDM and our Apple Business Manager account, maintaining full enrollment and patch compliance.
• Roll out and manage BYOD mobile enrollment for iOS and Android using work profiles, so work resources stay in a managed, independently wipeable container.
• Maintain the IT equipment closet and asset inventory.
• Administer Google Workspace: user lifecycle, groups and group membership, and organizational settings.
• Own SSO, SAML, and SCIM integrations, and standardize how new applications get onboarded to them.
• Run recurring access reviews and keep groups as the single source of truth for access.
• Build automated onboarding and offboarding workflows across Ravenna, Google Workspace, and Gusto — role-based access on day one, provably complete deprovisioning on exit.
• Field IT support requests through Ravenna, Slack, and in person, with clear response and resolution targets.
• Document recurring requests into self-service knowledge so ticket volume drops over time.
• Manage our Unifi network and office infrastructure, including our Xerox printer.
• Administer our phishing triage and security awareness program (Adaptive Security), including campaigns, reporting, and remediation loops.
• Perform first-pass triage of security alerts and events from AWS and Panther, following documented runbooks and escalating with judgment.
• Answer general and low-level security questions from across the company.
• Write real code — Python, Go, or TypeScript — to eliminate manual operational work.
• Use infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) for the systems you own.
• Scope, deliver, and document security and IT tooling initiatives end to end.
