More about this role

Lila is hiring a Staff IT Systems Engineer, Endpoints to own the architecture and roadmap for endpoint management across the company. This role sits within IT & Security and supports the technology every scientist, engineer, and employee relies on, including laptops, mobile devices, specialized research compute, endpoint security, and device trust.

We treat endpoint management as a software engineering discipline. Configuration, policy, remediation, and fleet operations should move through code, CI/CD, staged rollout, observability, and automated rollback. This is a hands-on staff-level role for someone who can set technical standards, build missing tooling, mentor engineers, and lead cross-functional initiatives across IT, Security, Research Computing, and Lab Operations.

As Lila scales its workforce and physical footprint, endpoint systems need to become more automated, secure, auditable, and seamless. The right person will help employees and scientists become productive faster while reducing device risk, operational noise, and manual toil.

  • Own the architecture and roadmap for Lila’s endpoint fleet across macOS, Windows, Linux, mobile devices, and specialized research or lab...
