## Description

As our first dedicated IT hire, you will keep Humble's people, lab, and systems running. You will own corporate IT end to end: identity and access, laptops and workstations across macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu, the office and lab network, and the SaaS stack the team lives in. You will spend part of each week hands-on in the robotics lab and part building the automation that keeps the next hundred employees from needing a bigger IT team.

Our goal is that the person who fills this role would primarily work from Humble Robotics' San Francisco office 5 days a week. We aim to create an in office environment that fosters a collaborative, generative atmosphere where the team can build together.

What You'll Do

 * Own the employee IT lifecycle: onboarding and offboarding, account provisioning, device imaging and shipping, access grants and revocations, and license administration.
 * Administer identity and access: SSO, MFA, SCIM provisioning, and group-based access to Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, Jira/Confluence, and engineering systems.
 * Be first responder for the office and lab network: switches, VLANs, Wi-Fi, VPN, and the isolated test networks that trucks, sensors, and test rigs attach to.
 * Support the robotics lab and shop floor: engineering workstations, lab servers and NAS, data-offload pipelines from vehicles, and the hardware engineers need to run tests.
 * Set up and support conference-room AV and collaboration tools (Zoom or Google Meet rooms, digital signage).
 * Automate repetitive work with Bash or Python, Ansible, and platform APIs; measure ticket trends and remove the root causes.
 * Maintain the asset inventory and hardware lifecycle, run IT procurement and vendor relationships, and keep spend visible.
 * Partner with security and engineering on endpoint security, certificate management, vulnerability remediation, and the controls needed.
 * Take part in a light on-call rotation for after-hours incidents once the team grows.
