Loft Orbital is looking for an IT Platform Engineer to help build, automate, and scale the technology that keeps our global teams moving.
As part of our IT team, you’ll sit at the intersection of IT infrastructure, SaaS applications, identity, security, and automation .
Rather than simply keeping systems running, you’ll focus on making them work better together—building integrations, eliminating repetitive manual processes, improving reliability, and developing scalable solutions that support Loft as we grow.
This is a hands-on engineering role with significant ownership.
You’ll work across platforms including AWS, VMware, Okta, Google Workspace, GitLab, NetSuite, Atlassian, and our broader SaaS ecosystem, while partnering with teams across the business to understand their workflows and turn operational challenges into reliable technical solutions.
If you enjoy digging into APIs, automating away repetitive work, troubleshooting problems that cross multiple systems, and building IT infrastructure that scales, we’d love to hear from you.
