You will architect and operate the business systems ecosystem connecting SaaS applications, cloud infrastructure, identity platforms, and collaboration tools. The role combines business systems engineering, software development, automation, security, and IT operations rather than traditional IT support. You will build APIs, integrations, internal tools, event-driven workflows, and self-service capabilities that improve how teams work globally. You will also identify opportunities to introduce AI-powered workflows, from intelligent support assistants to automated ticket triage and knowledge retrieval. Security and compliance are central to the role, including identity lifecycle management, Zero Trust practices, endpoint security, and audit readiness. This fully remote position is ideal for an autonomous, people-focused engineer who enjoys solving complex operational problems through code and automation. Accountabilities * Architect, administer, and continuously improve the internal business systems ecosystem, integrating platforms such as Salesforce, HubSpot, customer support, billing, HR, collaboration, and engineering tools. * Design reliable workflows and data synchronization processes across multiple SaaS platforms and business systems. * Build automation tooling and internal services using Python, Go, Bash, or comparable technologies rather than relying solely on SaaS configuration. * Develop internal CLI tools, automation services, dashboards, bots, and ChatOps integrations that improve IT and business operations. * Design and maintain API-driven integrations using REST and GraphQL APIs, OAuth, webhooks, SDKs, and integration frameworks. * Automate processes such as CRM workflows, customer and billing data synchronization, entitlement provisioning, onboarding, offboarding, and access management. * Create an internal "golden path" for employees and teams through self-service IT workflows, identity provisioning automation, and developer-friendly APIs for business systems. * Identify and implement AI-assisted and AI-driven solutions for internal support, knowledge retrieval, ticket triage, SaaS workflows, and operational data analysis. * Serve as a senior escalation point for IT support, applying comprehensive root-cause analysis and maintaining a people-first approach to employee technology needs. * Operate and improve cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP, supporting the underlying technology ecosystem and internal services. * Implement and administer endpoint security and device management solutions, including Mobile Device Management and enterprise password-management platforms. * Manage identity and access processes, including SSO, SAML, SCIM provisioning, identity lifecycle automation, and Zero Trust access controls. * Support security and compliance requirements and maintain operational alignment with frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. * Conduct access reviews and continuously identify opportunities to strengthen security while maintaining an efficient employee experience. * Apply reliability engineering principles to internal IT services, establishing appropriate monitoring, service objectives, and operational practices. * Identify manual, inefficient, or error-prone processes and proactively design automated solutions to improve scalability and operational efficiency. ## Related Videos - [Command the Bots: Mastering robots.txt for Generative AI and Search Marketing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1165-command-the-bots-mastering-robots-txt-for-generative-ai-and-search-marketing) - [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) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) - [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) ## Related Articles - [How to Find Tech Jobs in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/279-how-to-find-tech-jobs-in-amsterdam) - [How to land a developer job in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/36-how-to-land-a-developer-job-in-amsterdam) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Best Companies in the Netherlands: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/193-best-companies-in-the-netherlands-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
