We're hiring our first dedicated IT Engineer to own corporate IT end to end: identity, devices, SaaS and compliance across 200+ devices in the US, UK, Canada and India. This isn't a help desk role. You'll run IT while systematically automating it, using agentic tooling to remove manual work rather than absorb it. Success is measured by how little of the job is still manual after a year, and how good every employee's IT experience is. What you'll do * Treat every recurring task as an automation candidate, building workflows with Python, Bash, APIs, Okta Workflows and AI coding tools * Own the joiner, mover and leaver lifecycle with People Ops via Rippling * Okta * SCIM, moving it from tickets to policy-driven automation, including access reviews * Administer Okta, Google Workspace, Slack and Atlassian; configure SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM and MFA across all apps * Manage the Mac fleet in Kandji: enrollment, automated OS patching, encryption baselines and continuous drift detection * Maintain SaaS inventory and usage programmatically, and reclaim unused licenses automatically * Generate evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and AI governance frameworks continuously, as a byproduct of automated operations * Maintain runbooks, a knowledge base and an integration registry; provide Tier 1/2 support within defined SLAs * Be the go-to for Finance and HR on tool access, licensing, renewals and billing What success looks like * 90 days: Onboarding and offboarding are automated end to end; SaaS inventory is live and license reclamation is running * 6 months: Most recurring IT work is automated, audit evidence is always ready, and InfoSec is off IT tickets, * First owner of corporate IT at an agentic AI company. You build it, not inherit it. * Automate an entire corporate function with the same kind of agentic tooling we build for customers. * Work closely with InfoSec, with a clear path into security engineering. ## Related Videos - [Our GitOps approach for deploying an Identity Provider and an API Gateway in a SaaS company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/776-our-gitops-approach-for-deploying-an-identity-provider-and-an-api-gateway-in-a-saas-company) - [Stack Overflow: Community and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/600-stack-overflow-community-and-ai) - [Let developers develop again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/463-let-developers-develop-again) - [Leading Through Stagility: Human Capital Trends That Redefine Work](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1717-leading-through-stagility-human-capital-trends-that-redefine-work) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [Startup Presentation: Dealing with the bug Mafia](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1175-startup-presentation-dealing-with-the-bug-mafia) ## 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) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market)
