About the role
We're hiring an experienced Staff IT Systems Engineer to be the senior technical owner of Obsidian's identity, endpoint, and IT platform foundation, and to help us operate that foundation as code. You will own how identity flows from our HR system into Okta and out to every application, how our device fleet is managed and hardened, and how the configuration behind all of it lives as version-controlled, AI- and human-authored code.

- 8 or more years building and operating IT systems, identity, or platform infrastructure in production, with clear ownership of the systems you ran

- Hands-on Jamf Pro expertise managing a production Mac fleet, including configuration profiles, policies, smart groups, and patch workflows
- Proven infrastructure-as-code ownership with Terraform or OpenTofu managing real infrastructure or SaaS configuration in production, shipped through a pull-request-based GitOps workflow such as GitHub Actions
- Daily use of AI coding tools to ship production work
- Hands-on MDM depth with Jamf or Intune at fleet scale, including device compliance and trust
