  • Administer and optimize our SaaS tools including Google Workspace, Slack, Asana, Addigy, JumpCloud, Office 365, Airtable, Salesforce, and Jira
  • Build and implement automations and integrations to streamline IT processes and reduce manual work
  • Promote and develop self-service resources to empower staff to resolve common issues independently
  • Support information security efforts by monitoring and responding to security alerts
  • Conduct regular audits of user accounts, permissions, and access controls
  • Leverage generative AI tools to enhance efficiency and problem-solving
  • Collaborate with the Engineering team on cross-functional projects and initiatives

Required Qualifications

  • 3-5 years of experience in IT support or systems administration roles
  • Broad technical knowledge across IT operations, including endpoint management, identity management, SaaS administration, and basic security practices
  • Hands-on experience with multiple platforms from our tech stack (or similar tools)
  • Demonstrated ability to create automations, integrations, or workflows that improve efficiency
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues independently
  • Experience with user access management and basic information security practices
  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in a startup or fast-paced environment
  • Familiarity with AI tools and how to apply them to IT workflows
  • Scripting or light coding experience (Python, PowerShell, Bash, etc.)
  • Background with MDM solutions like Addigy or similar platforms
  • Experience with SSO and directory services (JumpCloud, Okta, Azure AD, etc.)

About Our Team
You'll be joining a tight-knit Engineering team that values transparency, collaboration, and flexibility over rigid structure. We believe in giving people autonomy and trust them to get things done. We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, enjoys learning new things independently, and is excited to take on new challenges as they arise. If you like variety, solving problems creatively, and working in an environment where you can make an impact, you'll fit right in.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
