Job Description

Job Description:\n\nAbout the Role We're looking for an experienced, highly hands-on IT professional who can operate across enterprise endpoint engineering, identity and security, partner-facing technical support, AV/media production, and physical IT infrastructure. This is not a traditional service desk position or a role focused on a single operating system. You'll take meaningful ownership of both our Windows and macOS environments while helping run the systems, security controls, workplace technology, and operational processes that keep the company moving. You'll also serve as a senior technical resource when complex internal or partner-facing issues arise. The right person is equally comfortable troubleshooting an Intune compliance issue, configuring Okta lifecycle automation, helping a partner isolate a technical problem, supporting an executive live event, or improving an operational process with PowerShell, Bash, or Python. This position is based in our Dublin, California office and requires a significant onsite presence. What You'll Own Endpoint & Workplace Engineering — Windows, macOS and Linux You'll be responsible for the health, security, usability, and lifecycle of our employee endpoint environment across both major desktop platforms.Take end-to-end ownership of the Windows fleet, including Intune and Entra ID enrollment, Autopilot provisioning, configuration and compliance policies, Windows Update rings, BitLocker, and Defender for Endpoint.Manage the macOS fleet from enrollment through retirement using Kandji, including zero-touch Automated Device Enrollment, Blueprints, Platform SSO, FileVault key escrow, Gatekeeper and XProtect posture, and major macOS upgrade cycles.Create a consistent experience across Windows and macOS by maintaining a common security baseline, patch SLA, application catalog, onboarding process, and overall employee experience.Support the company's smaller Linux endpoint footprint used by engineering, including baseline hardening, disk encryption, and patching.Package, validate, and deploy applications across both primary endpoint environments while maintaining an effective self-service software catalog.Operate as the senior-most endpoint escalation point and resolve technical issues that cannot be closed by the service desk.Manage the complete IT asset lifecycle, beginning with procurement and continuing through deployment, BYOD enrollment, offboarding wipes, and certified data destruction.Automate endpoint administration through PowerShell, Bash, Python, MDM APIs, and identity APIs. The goal is to remove unnecessary manual work rather than simply write instructions for repeating it.Deliver hands-on, white-glove technical support to employees and executive staff across platforms. Security Operations, Compliance & Physical Security You'll help connect identity, endpoint, network, compliance, and physical access into a cohesive security program.Administer Okta identity and access management, including SSO, SCIM provisioning, phishing-resistant MFA, application assignments, automated lifecycle processes, and access-review evidence.Deploy and administer enterprise platforms including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, AWS, Jira, and Confluence.Own the technical onboarding and offboarding process from start to finish, covering user accounts, group memberships, assigned devices, badge access, and same-day access revocation when someone leaves.Apply least-privilege practices across enterprise systems, conduct periodic access reviews, and eliminate unnecessary standing privilege.Investigate endpoint and identity alerts involving phishing, malware, suspected account compromise, and similar events, escalating to Information Security according to the incident response plan.Own IT's responsibilities within SOC 2, including evidence gathering, control testing, ticket and change records, and audit walkthroughs involving endpoint, identity, and physical security controls.Maintain current security-control documentation, policies, and procedures mapped to SOC 2 requirements, including accurate ownership information.Maintain corporate network security controls including VPN and ZTNA access, 802.1X, DNS filtering, firewall rules, and segmentation of guest and IoT environments.Operate physical building-security technologies including electronic locks, access-control systems, badge administration, visitor tracking, video surveillance, and camera-retention practices aligned with company policy.Keep physical and logical access changes synchronized so that provisioning and revocation occur from the same trigger and on the same day.Ensure consumer and partner information is handled only through approved systems and immediately escalate any suspected data exposure. Forward-Deployed Partner Technical Support A portion of this position is externally facing. You'll work alongside Partner Success, Support, and Implementation as the technical resource for questions and issues raised by bank and credit union partners.Triage, reproduce, investigate, and resolve inbound technical questions from partners as an embedded technical resource.Translate partner-reported symptoms into reproducible technical findings that Engineering can act on, including relevant logs, environment details, and a clear reproduction path.Participate directly in partner calls and communicate root cause, remediation steps, and expected timelines in terms that non-technical stakeholders can understand and act on.Retain ownership of an issue through confirmed resolution instead of simply transferring it to another team.Turn repeat issues into internal troubleshooting runbooks and partner-facing FAQ material, while advocating for technical fixes that reduce future ticket volume.Handle partner and consumer information exclusively within approved systems and in accordance with GLBA and FCRA obligations. This position does not make or automate lending, credit, or eligibility decisions. AV & Media Production You'll also own and improve the workplace technology that supports meetings, media, and company communications.Design and configure AV environments including conference rooms, digital signage, and live-event production setups.Support and optimize Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex for reliable hybrid meetings.Operate and maintain professional cameras, lighting equipment, and audio systems.Manage video post-production workflows using tools such as Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve.Support podcast production using platforms such as Audition, Audacity, and Pro Tools.Administer cloud-based media storage and establish AV standards that produce consistent quality.Introduce AI-enabled improvements where appropriate, including automated media processing and real-time captioning.

IT Service Management Strong technology matters, but so does the operating discipline behind it.Manage IT ticketing and service desk operations with an emphasis on prompt, accountable issue resolution.Define, maintain, and enforce SLAs for support and infrastructure services.Measure and report IT performance, including resolution times, system availability, and user satisfaction.Apply ITIL practices across incident, problem, and change management.Participate in the technical support on-call rotation, including after-hours coverage for security incidents, outages, live productions, and other critical events.

Documentation, Automation & Technical Leadership You'll be expected to leave systems and processes better than you found them.Build and maintain system diagrams, SOPs, runbooks, knowledge-base articles, and other IT documentation.Develop and present Lunch & Learn sessions covering technology tools, security practices, and emerging technologies.Automate repetitive operational work and document those automations well enough that others can confidently operate them.Establish technical standards for the IT function.Mentor junior IT team members in endpoint management, identity, and security practices. Project Management & Cross-Functional Coordination You'll own projects as well as systems.Lead IT initiatives involving new system implementations, infrastructure improvements, and technology deployments.Create project plans covering timelines, dependencies, staffing or resource requirements, and risk-mitigation strategies.Monitor project execution using tools such as Jira and Asana and provide regular status reporting.Maintain project artifacts including requirements, technical designs, test plans, and deployment documentation.Coordinate user acceptance testing and end-user training for newly deployed systems.Manage timelines and deliverables for projects involving outside vendors.
