Job summary

Alaffia Health, a NYC-based healthtech startup, is hiring its first dedicated IT Engineer to own security posture, access control, and IT infrastructure hygiene. You will work closely with Security Engineers and report to a VP of Engineering, inheriting a real backlog of concrete projects from day one.

You’ll handle onboarding/offboarding, vendor relationships, and run a proactive, KPI-driven IT function within a growing company that values hands-on ownership and clear communication.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Google Workspace admin, an HRIS/IT platform like Rippling, and at least one MDM tool
• Comfort auditing and cleaning up messy, inherited systems
• Experience with secrets management and rotation practices
• A bias toward fixing root causes over patching symptoms, and toward building repeatable process (KPIs, documentation) rather than solving the same fire every time
• Clear communicator - you'll be the primary IT touchpoint for non-technical employees company-wide

• Onboarding, Offboarding & Access Control
• Audit cloud and local application usage company-wide
• Rotate all duplicate phone numbers currently used for Apple Account 2FA
• Identify and cut IT spend bloat

• Serve as the primary point of contact for IT support and troubleshooting across the company
• Own the relationship with IT vendors and SaaS tools, replacing reliance on outside retainer support
