While you are our resident Okta expert, you are also a high-level IT generalist. You will oversee our broader SaaS ecosystem (Google Workspace, Slack, Jira) and endpoint management infrastructure (Jamf, Intune). Your expertise will drive automation, protect sensitive data, mitigate security risks, and maintain compliance in a heavily regulated industry.

You will continually strive towards automation of toil. If you are still manually doing the same operational tasks 18 months from now, something has gone wrong. Flexport’s book of business is growing fast, but the promise of technology is that we can grow our business faster than our headcount. The automation you build will be a key factor in that effort.
