Rather than simply keeping systems running, you'll focus on making them work better together-building integrations, eliminating repetitive manual processes, improving reliability, and developing scalable solutions that support Loft as we grow. This is a hands-on engineering role with significant ownership. You'll work across platforms including AWS, VMware, Okta, Google Workspace, GitLab, NetSuite, Atlassian, and our broader SaaS ecosystem, while partnering with teams across the business to understand their workflows and turn operational challenges into reliable technical solutions. If you enjoy digging into APIs, automating away repetitive work, troubleshooting problems that cross multiple systems, and building IT infrastructure that scales, we'd love to hear from you. About this Role: * Design, build, and maintain automated workflows and integrations across Loft's SaaS ecosystem, using APIs, scripting, identity standards, and integration tooling. * Develop automation that improves IT operations, including user lifecycle management, access provisioning, system configuration, data synchronization, reporting, and repetitive administrative workflows. * Administer and improve identity and access management (IAM) across hybrid environments, including provisioning and authentication workflows using technologies such as Okta, SCIM, SAML, and OAuth. * Administer and support AWS infrastructure, including IAM, EC2, WorkSpaces, VPC, and directory integrations. * Deploy, maintain, and improve VMware vSphere/ESXi infrastructure, supporting initiatives such as migrations, patching, upgrades, troubleshooting, and capacity management. * Partner with Security to automate and improve security controls across endpoints, networks, cloud infrastructure, operating systems, and SaaS applications. * Administer and automate aspects of GitLab, including repository permissions, access management, and CI/CD-related workflows. * Troubleshoot complex technical issues spanning SaaS, cloud, networking, identity, virtualization, and on-premises infrastructure, identifying root causes rather than relying on short-term fixes. * Partner with teams including People, Finance, Engineering, and Operations to understand business processes and identify opportunities where automation and systems integration can improve efficiency and data quality. * Improve the reliability and scalability of IT by documenting solutions, developing reusable tooling, reducing manual processes, and contributing to disaster recovery and business continuity planning. ## Related Videos - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [The internal developer platform and golden paths: Scaffolding for cloud-native development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1039-the-internal-developer-platform-and-golden-paths-scaffolding-for-cloud-native-development) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) - [Why make use of an integration platform in today's software developments and infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/758-why-make-use-of-an-integration-platform-in-today-s-software-developments-and-infrastructure) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Advanced Cypress: custom assertions and tasks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/790-advanced-cypress-custom-assertions-and-tasks) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/162-highest-paying-tech-companies-in-europe)
