The Role
As our IT Automation Engineer, you won't just be managing tickets or performing routine maintenance—you'll be an architect of efficiency, tasked with transforming our manual IT processes into a streamlined, automated ecosystem. You will have the autonomy to design and build the workflows that define how we scale. This isn't just about writing scripts; it's about shaping the future of our digital workplace and seeing your code directly reduce the daily burden on your peers and the broader organization.

On a typical day, you might:

  • Architect and build complex workflows that automate repetitive tasks across our entire stack of enterprise applications.
  • Create intelligent routing and auto-remediation systems to proactively solve issues, significantly reducing the L1/L2 support burden.
  • Implement AI-powered workflows to handle high-stakes tasks like access reviews, compliance checks, and intelligent alerting.
  • Deploy self-service portals that empower employees to solve problems independently, enhancing the overall user experience.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Security and GRC teams to integrate compliance automations directly into our infrastructure.
  • Orchestrate identity lifecycles using Okta workflows and SCIM provisioning to ensure seamless and secure access.
  • Troubleshoot and refine integration points when automation logic meets real-world complexity, ensuring our systems remain resilient.

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience managing enterprise IT systems with a dedicated focus on automation over manual operations.
  • Advanced Python development skills, with a proven ability to write maintainable, production-grade code that includes robust error handling.
  • Expertise in IdP administration, specifically regarding lifecycle automation, SCIM provisioning, and complex workflow orchestration.
  • Deep familiarity with MDM platforms (such as Kandji, Intune, or Jamf) and a commitment to zero-touch deployment strategies.
  • Technical proficiency with APIs and webhooks, allowing you to programmatically integrate and extend various SaaS platforms.
  • A background in AI-driven automation, including experience building workflows using LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) for intelligent decision-making.
  • Experience with compliance or security operations, ideally with an infrastructure-as-code mindset and an understanding of zero-trust networking.
  • Strong collaborative abilities to translate complex business requirements from Security, GRC, and Engineering into elegant technical solutions.
  • Experience managing Google Workspace at scale preferred, utilizing advanced admin features to optimize the employee experience.
  • ​A strong background in DevOps or security operations is a bonus, for approaching IT challenges with an infrastructure-as-code mindset to ensure scalability and consistency.
