Job description

  • Design, build, and own automated workflows that eliminate manual labor across the customer lifecycle - user lifecycle, device provisioning, lifecycle (Okta), MDM configuration (Fleet), and security posture events (CrowdStrike)
  • Build and maintain integration frameworks across Treeline's core stack using event-driven triggers, APIs, and workflow orchestration tools
  • Instrument automation workflows with observability and alerting so every triggered action is logged, auditable, and measurable - generating the operational data that feeds both customer QBRs and internal reporting
  • Own the automation knowledge base: write runbooks, integration specs, and architecture decision records that make every workflow repeatable, transferable, and teachable to future team members
  • Identify and quantify automation opportunities across customer environments - calculating labor hours saved, error rates reduced, and margin impact unlocked

You Might Thrive at Treeline If You:

  • Think in systems and reach for a script before you reach for a ticket - manual processes feel like technical debt to you, not just inefficiency
  • Are energized by the intersection of automation and real business outcomes - you want to know how many hours your workflow saved, what that did to the margin, and you're already thinking about how agentic AI can take it further: systems that don't wait for a ticket but instead prevent one
  • Thrive at the junction of engineering and operations - comfortable whiteboarding an integration architecture with Engineering & Product teams
  • Are precise and documentation-first: you build things so they can be handed off, not so they depend on you to maintain
  • Embrace ambiguity as an opportunity: you're comfortable building the playbook when none exists and iterating fast when you get it wrong, * Founding equity at an a16z-backed company transforming a $200B+ market - you're joining at the inflection point, not after it
  • Your automation work directly informs what Treeline's engineering team builds into the platform - you're upstream of product decisions, not downstream
  • Direct partnership with the Engineering and leadership; no layers, no ticket queues for your own ideas
  • A team that values execution over hierarchy - small, collaborative, and genuinely building something new in a market that hasn't seen real innovation in decades

Requirements

  • 3-6 years of experience in IT automation, DevOps, platform engineering, or a hands-on SaaS IT role with a strong automation track record
  • Deep hands-on experience with and access management automation (Okta Workflows, SCIM provisioning, lifecycle policies, group rules)
  • Fluency with MDM automation in Fleet - policies, Osquery, zero-touch provisioning, custom profiles at scale
  • Proficiency with workflow orchestration tools (Workato, Make, Zapier, n8n, or equivalent) and REST API integration patterns
  • Scripting ability in Python, Bash, or JavaScript sufficient to build automations, parse API responses, and debug pipelines
  • Familiarity with event-driven architecture concepts (webhooks, triggers, conditional logic) and infrastructure-as-code thinking
