Senior IT Systems Engineer

Required

• 4+ years of hands-on experience as a systems engineer or systems administrator, with a track record of owning enterprise systems in production not just operating them, but deciding how they should work.
• You define problem statements yourself. You can take a vague or contested business need, scope it, drive alignment with stakeholders, and deliver with minimal direction without losing the thread when priorities shift.
• Deep working knowledge across a wide range of IT systems, including enterprise device management, identity and access management, and endpoint security.
• You have deployed and managed macOS and iOS devices at scale through an MDM (Jamf preferred), including configuration profiles, policies, and OS update strategy. Windows management (Intune, Autopilot) is a strong plus.
• You have administered core SaaS platforms such as Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian, and Zoom, including their security and admin controls.
• Hands-on experience with IdP configuration, management, and maintenance: SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM provisioning, group and role design, and app onboarding. Experience with Okta or Entra ID (Azure AD) is preferred.
• You have owned the identity lifecycle in practice onboarding, role changes, and offboarding and understand the security and audit consequences of getting it wrong.
• AI proficiency: AI is already part of how you work, and you can show it. You use LLM assistants and agents to research, write and debug code, draft documentation, and compress routine work, and you exercise judgment about when to trust the output. You are actively interested in putting AI into the systems you run automating triage, enrichment, and repetitive workflows for the wider company.
• You automate by default, and you have the scripting skills to do it: Bash, PowerShell, or Python. Python is preferred and AWS Lambda experience is a plus. You have replaced manual, repetitive work with automation other people now rely on, and you can safely read and modify someone else’s script.
• Comfortable working with APIs REST, JSON, authentication, and rate limits and building integrations between systems that do not natively talk to each other.
• You value clean, concise controls and easily editable security functionality within tools, and you can produce evidence for access reviews and audits (SOC 2, SOX) without it derailing your week.
• Disciplined change management: you test, get peer review, plan rollback, communicate to affected users, and document what changed including under pressure.
