## About the role

We're looking for an IT Systems Administrator to own our internal IT operations end to end. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, takes pride in running a tight, well-organized IT function, and knows how to build systems that scale. You'll be the go-to person for everything from onboarding new hires to managing our SaaS tool stack and supporting our path to SOC 2 compliance.

## What they're looking for

- 3–5 years of experience in a corporate IT or systems administration role, ideally at a tech company
- Hands-on Okta experience — you've set up SSO integrations and managed provisioning, not just administered existing configs
- Experience with an Apple-focused MDM — Iru/Kandji, Jamf, or similar
- Familiarity with SOC 2 requirements and ideally experience working in or toward a SOC 2 environment
- Experience with compliance platforms like Vanta or Drata is a plus
- Strong communicator who can work cross-functionally with operations, engineering, and external vendors
