About the role
KoBold's ~280 geoscientists, data scientists, and engineers work remote-first across North America, Zambia, the DRC, Sweden, and field exploration sites around the world. As we scale, we are moving IT from reactive, break/fix support toward proactive, automated operations that work seamlessly across geographies — including field sites with limited connectivity.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years in client platform engineering, IT engineering, or similar roles combining hands-on technical depth with operational ownership
- Strong experience with identity and access management (Okta strongly preferred): SSO integration, SCIM provisioning, access request workflows, and lifecycle automation
- Hands-on experience building zero-touch provisioning, automated reimaging, and self-service deployment workflows at scale
- Experience with endpoint monitoring and fleet management at scale, including remote/distributed environments
- Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar) for building automation and tooling
- Experience managing or building tooling for SaaS licensing and renewals: utilization tracking, right-sizing, renewal pipelines, and vendor coordination
More about this role
In the coming decades, our world needs far more critical minerals including copper, lithium, and cobalt, to build electric infrastructure, vehicles, data centers, and electronics. The mining industry is making 10x fewer discoveries per dollar spent on exploration compared to 30 years ago because the easy-to-find, near surface deposits have largely been discovered.
KoBold is the leading scientific mineral exploration, mine development, and technology development company. Our goal is to turn mineral exploration into a repeatable science to discover the minerals the world needs—by integrating artificial intelligence, human intelligence, and new technology. Our multidisciplinary teams of data scientists, engineers, and geologists work together to build data systems, design new sensors, and establish industry-leading workflows to develop and test subsurface predictions on our exploration projects.
Our first discovery, Mingomba, is a high-grade copper deposit in Zambia, found after spending materially less than industry average. We are developing Mingomba with the same technical rigor that we apply to exploration. The Mingomba team brings together mine and processing engineers,...
