Senior IT & Security Engineer

Mountain West Financial is hiring a senior IT and Security Engineer to be the technology anchor in our Draper office. You will own on-site IT and endpoint engineering and help run our security and compliance program day to day, working directly with our CTO and fractional CISO. As a growing mortgage lender, our fastest-growing risk is on the security and compliance side, and we want a strong engineer in the building who can execute it, backed by our remote support team and fractional security leadership. What you’ll do

• Own on-site IT and endpoint engineering: device deployment and repair across Windows and Mac, MDM (Intune, and Iru Endpoint), new-hire onboarding, M365 and Entra administration, and escalations from the remote team
• Execute and help mature our security program alongside the CTO and fractional CISO: Microsoft 365 and Entra hardening, Intune compliance policies, identity and access (Entra, conditional access, MFA), and GLBA and audit readiness
• Be the on-site technology partner to leadership: secure, reliable, high-availability support for the executive team and staff
• Set direction for our IT tooling and standards, and raise concerns directly when something needs to change
• Coordinate with the remote support team so routine tickets stay off your plate

• 8 or more years in IT with strong endpoint and systems engineering experience
• Deep Microsoft stack: Entra, Intune, Exchange and M365, Active Directory, SCCM, and PowerShell
• Hands-on device management across Windows and Mac (Intune, Iru Endpoint, SCCM) and physical hardware setup and repair
• Identity and access management experience (Entra and conditional access; Okta a plus)
• Exposure to security and compliance in a regulated or large enterprise environment, and the drive to own it here with our fractional CISO
• Executive-grade communication and the judgment to lead decisions, not just implement
• Ability to work on-site in Draper, UT

Nice to have

• Experience in a regulated financial or lending environment; familiarity with GLBA, WISP, or similar frameworks
• Certifications: Azure Administrator Associate, CompTIA A+, Apple Certified Mac Technician, or ITIL; a security certification (Security+, SC-200) a plus
• Experience administering enterprise AI tools (Claude)
