Job description

Amperity’s work model operates on four in-office days each week and one designated remote workday on Wednesdays.

Responsibilities

• As a Senior IT Systems Engineer based in our Seattle, WA office, you will own the systems, integrations, and automation that keep Amperity running. You'll engineer our systems, connect them to each other, govern access to our most advanced platforms, and automate away the manual toil that slows people down.
• You'll take on the hard, ambiguous problems: untangling a data-platform permissions model, building an integration so onboarding runs itself, or deploying a new AI tool for the company. You'll partner closely with the Security, Engineering, & People teams, and share your experience with the rest of the IT team. Strong technical depth, a bias toward automation, and excellent judgment about risk and access are essential.

Requirements

• 5 to 7 years in IT, senior and hands-on, ideally in high-growth SaaS
• Hands-on governance for Databricks, Snowflake or cloud infrastructure
• Track record building integrations and automation
• Comfortable leveraging cutting edge AI tools to build efficiently
• Experience deploying and administering AI tools in a business setting
• Advanced SaaS administration and MacOS/MDM experience
• Working knowledge of Okta identity workflows (SSO, SCIM, lifecycle)
• Experience with monitoring, backup, and recovery for critical systems
• Strong judgment on risk, access, and least-privilege
• Bias for automation; a pragmatic, creative problem-solver
• Clear communicator who partners directly with stakeholders
• Thrives in a fast-paced, swiftly-changing startup environment
• Preferred: relevant certifications (Okta, Snowflake, Databricks, or cloud provider credentials)

Benefits

• We offer all the benefits you’d expect from a great place to work: comprehensive healthcare coverage with a choice of medical plan options, transportation subsidies, a comfortable work environment with plenty of snacks, and employee experience programs and perks. We also offer self-managed PTO and the flexibility to do your best work in the way that works for you. We provide an inclusive environment where you’ll be challenged to find and unlock your full potential, surrounded by a team of world-class people driving for excellence.
