Mapbox is the only platform that equips organizations with the full set of tools to power the navigation of people, packages, and vehicles everywhere. More than 4 million registered developers have chosen Mapbox because of the platform's flexibility, security and privacy compliance. Organizations use Mapbox applications, data, SDKs and APIs to create customized and immersive experiences that delight their customers. What We Do The IT team has the twin responsibilities of making the technology that every Mapboxer uses as effective and frictionless as possible while also optimizing the performance of our corporate technology stack. We do that by promoting secure, repeatable processes, supporting data wherever it lives, and delivering self-service solutions whenever possible. Everyone at Mapbox is a customer, a stakeholder, and a partner, often all at the same time. IT has a diverse range of functions, including incident response, laptop support, office networking, audio/visual administration, SaaS application integration, new hire orientation, and end-user training. This role focuses on the systems and identity infrastructure that make that support possible, working alongside our dedicated help desk team who own the front line. What Youll Do In this role, you can expect to: * Own secure configuration, provisioning, and lifecycle management of identity and access across Okta, AWS, GitHub, Google Cloud, G Suite, and other systems of record - treating identity as the foundation of our security posture. * Manage and secure our endpoint fleet (macOS/Windows/Linux) via MDM, including compliance baselines and automated deployment, so devices are secure and functional before a ticket is ever filed. * Own the in-office LAN, WiFi, audio-visual, conferencing, and computing systems end-to-end from a remote position. * Continuously mine ticket trends to identify what shouldnt be a ticket at all - building automation and self-service tooling that resolves issues before they reach the help desk, and partnering with the help desk team to keep escalations rare and well-documented. * Serve as the technical escalation point for issues the help desk cant resolve - approachable, fast, and using every escalation as an input for the next automation. * Support the smooth onboarding of new hires and manage the full employee IT lifecycle from a systems perspective (provisioning, access, deprovisioning). * Partner with Security on audit readiness (SOC 2, access reviews) for the systems you own. * Participate in weekly sprints and IT projects, both as a contributor and as a leader. What We Believe are Important Traits for This Role * Experience with our IT tools and platforms of choice, including macOS, Windows 11, different Linux distros, Okta SAML, GitHub, Slack, Google G Suite, Jamf, Zoom, Jira, and Confluence. * Experience in a fast-paced IT organization that prioritizes security, automation, and system reliability, working closely alongside a dedicated support/help desk function. * Comfortable serving as a technical escalation point and SME - self-motivated to eliminate the root cause of repetitive tickets rather than just resolving them one at a time.
