We are a team of doers, seasoned engineers, hackers and builders, working on the future of streaming data.
Funded by premier investors including GV and Lightspeed, Redpanda is building the streaming data platform for developers. We’re evolving streaming beyond the Apache Kafka® protocol into a unified “engine of record” that delivers a categorical reduction in complexity, wicked-fast performance, onboard Wasm transforms, and transparent tiered storage that gives consumers access to both real-time and historical data from a single API.
About the Role:
Redpanda is looking for our second Information Technology Engineer, with an emphasis on the "Engineer". We believe that an engineering approach is a benefit to most technical challenges and we're looking to hire someone that feels the same.

Join our Redpanda engineering team to build IT from the ground up.

- Identify gaps and areas for improvement in our corporate solutions and solve them using a mix of technical expertise and software/service selection
- Improve MDM, patch management and vulnerability management for a globally distributed workforce.
- Establish and create IT processes and select new tools
- Support employees with technical issues and manage new hire onboarding
- Maintain inventory for computer hardware, software licenses and third party system access
- Help drive IT projects to completion
You Have:
- 5+ years of experience in an IT engineer or system administrator role
- Experience writing scripts to automate IT processes (Python, Powershell, etc.)
- Experience managing IT projects
- Working knowledge of various SSO protocols (SAML, OIDC) and using them in enterprise-grade solutions like Okta, EntraID, etc.
- Experience configuring, troubleshooting and managing communications and collaboration tools, including Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom
- Experience in managing Apple, Linux and Windows devices
- Experience in configuring and monitoring endpoint security
- Ability to work autonomously in a fully distributed environment including support for employee onboarding, employee offboarding, and asset management
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
Please highlight if applicable to you:
- Write complex scripts to automate Information Technology processes
- Experience working in public clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Have been involved in compliance programs and implementation of controls for corporate environments
Redpanda is used by Fortune 1000 enterprises pushing hundreds of terabytes a day, as well as by the solo dev prototyping a React application on her laptop. Think of it as a streaming data API platform that scales with you from the smallest projects to petabytes of data distributed across the globe.
Join Redpanda if you’d enjoy being part of a fast-moving, 100% remote organization with team members around the globe and a culture based on trust, transparency, communication, and kindness.
