## About the Role

* 8+ years in a broad IT role (IT Generalist, Systems Engineer, or similar), running and managing complex technical environments
 * Hands-on experience owning an identity platform: SSO, MFA, provisioning and joiner/mover/leaver automation
 * Strong experience with AWS (or similar), Terraform or IaC tooling, and CI/CD (e.g. GitHub Actions)
 * Able to script and build tooling, preferably in Python
 * Strong understanding of SaaS environments and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, VPN, WiFi)
 * Strong English communication skills
 * Automation mindset: you actively eliminate manual work and have built integrations using APIs or workflow tools (e.g. n8n, Workato, Zapier)
 * Comfortable working with non-technical colleagues and translating between business needs and technical solutions
 * Excited about what AI can do for IT and have built things that show it

## Description

You'll join our newly formed BNL IT team of four, reporting to the Head of IT. You'll work most closely with our Service Delivery Lead, and you'll be the first dedicated platform and automation engineer here, so you help decide how this works rather than inheriting it.

What You Will Do
Automation and engineering (core focus)

 * Identify manual processes and eliminate them
 * Build automated workflows and integrations across our systems
 * Write scripts and tooling to replace manual steps
 * Design, run and improve the infrastructure our teams use to ship the things they build with AI

Cloud, infrastructure and SaaS

 * Manage our cloud infrastructure and apply infrastructure-as-code
 * Own the SaaS ecosystem end to end: configuration, lifecycle and integrations
 * Own our AI tooling, steer where it goes next, and watch what it costs
 * Keep backup, restore and monitoring in place and tested

Identity and access

 * Own our identity platform, SSO, MFA and access provisioning
 * Design and maintain joiner/mover/leaver workflows

Endpoints, network and support

 * Manage endpoints, device management and the office network
 * Act as escalation point for complex technical issues, working closely with Service Delivery
 * Manage vendor escalations and SLA oversight, and support onboarding of new toolsWho You Are, * Dutch language is a plus
 * You tinker outside work: a homelab, a side project, or a tool you couldn't leave alone
 * Have run AI tools at company level, not just used them
 * Have owned an entire IT estate before, in a scale-up or a small team
 * Service desk or ITSM experience

Our Tech Stack

 * Cloud: AWS, GCP
 * Identity and access: Okta
 * Automation and integration: Python, n8n, Workato, REST APIs
 * Infrastructure as code and CI/CD: Terraform, GitHub, GitHub Actions
 * Workplace and endpoints: Google Workspace, Slack, Workspace One
 * Observability: Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus
 * AI: Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot
 * Containers: Docker, Kubernetes
 * Network: Cisco, Ubiquiti
 * ITSM: JSM, Jira
 * Documentation: Confluence

This role is based out of our Amsterdam office. While we offer flexibility, we value in-person collaboration and encourage our teams to spend regular time in the office.
