Senior IT Engineer

We’re looking for a Senior IT Engineer – Identity & Automation Lead to join our team and help lead the evolution of our IT infrastructure with a deep focus on identity systems (Okta) and automation-first principles. This is a high-impact, cross-functional engineering role where you’ll architect scalable solutions across SaaS platforms, cloud infrastructure, and endpoint environments while championing the security and efficiency of our identity ecosystem.

You’ll collaborate with Security, Engineering, and IT Operations to reduce manual overhead, strengthen IAM controls, and design tools that empower teams to work efficiently and securely. This role blends hands-on scripting and integration with high-level architectural thinking and team leadership.

Your work will shape the daily technology experience for every employee and define how IT scales and secures systems in a modern, AI-aware environment.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design and implementation of secure, automated IT infrastructure.
• Serve as the subject matter expert and administrator for Okta, including SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, SCIM provisioning, and integrations.
  Automate IT and IAM workflows using Python, PowerShell, Okta Workflows, and Terraform.
• Manage identity-related integrations across key platforms like Google Workspace, Slack, Workday, AWS, GitHub, Azure, M365 and more.
• Design and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code deployments and CI/CD pipelines for repeatable and version-controlled systems management.
• Build robust onboarding/offboarding processes using zero-touch provisioning with tools like AutoPilot, JAMF, and Intune.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to align IAM strategy with broader security, compliance, and operational goals.
• Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation of systems, processes, and configurations.
  Mentor junior engineers and serve as a technical escalation point for complex identity and automation challenges.
  Proactively monitor system logs and health metrics to anticipate and prevent outages or compliance drift.

What You’ll Need

• Have 5–8+ years of experience in IT engineering, including 3+ years in a senior Okta administrator or IAM-focused role.
• Possess deep knowledge of Okta, including Universal Directory, SSO, MFA, SCIM, API integrations, and automation tooling.
• Write and maintain automation scripts in Python, Bash/Zsh, and PowerShell.
  Have a DevOps-oriented mindset, using Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Infrastructure-as-Code to manage systems.
• Know how to design and maintain secure, scalable SaaS environments and identity integrations.
• Understand and work with modern identity protocols like SAML, OAuth, OIDC, and SCIM.
• Are comfortable working across macOS, Windows, and Linux endpoints.
• Thrive in cross-functional settings, communicating effectively with engineers, security professionals, and business stakeholders.
• Bring a product mindset to IT—treating infrastructure like code and end users like customers.
• Enjoy solving complex problems, continuously improving systems, and mentoring others on best practices.

Strong candidates may also:

• Hold relevant certifications such as Okta Certified Administrator/Professional, CISSP, or equivalent.
• Have experience integrating IAM into compliance frameworks like SOX, ISO 27001, and NIST.
• Have helped scale IT and IAM systems in fast-paced or high-growth environments.
• Demonstrate experience leading projects that span multiple teams or departments.
• Possess a strong sense of ownership and accountability in building critical internal systems.
• Stay up to date with emerging trends in IT automation, AI ops, and identity security.
