• As our IT Engineer, youll own the corporate technology layer end-to-end — identity and access management, SaaS tooling, device security, and the employee-facing systems that keep a fast-growing company running safely.
• This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of IT engineering and corporate security: youll own the IT execution across identity, access, device, and SaaS — contributing directly to security programs like SOC 2 and Zero Trust — while also serving as the first line of support for our teams day-to-day needs.
• Youll work closely with Security, HR, and Engineering to build the operational foundation that lets Brain Co. scale without sacrificing security or employee experience.

Identity & Access Management

• Own our Okta environment and consolidate SSO: migrations, managing provisioning, lifecycle automation, and federation across all departments.
• Implement and improve our 3-tier access entitlement model: auto-grant for Tier 1, manager approval for Tier 2, manager + security approval for Tier 3.
• Build and operationalize HRIS-triggered provisioning and offboarding automation across our identity and SaaS stack.

Corporate Security Operations

• Support access review programs and contribute to SOC 2 compliance efforts — maintaining audit trails, approval chains, and provisioning logs.
• Contribute to Zero Trust and endpoint security initiatives: device trust, EDR integration, MDM, and least-privilege access across corporate and BYOD devices.
• Drive SaaS hygiene across our tooling estate — shadow IT discovery, configuration hardening, and data classification in partnership with the security team.

It Engineering & Automation

• Build the integrations and automation that eliminate manual IT work — connecting identity, HRIS, and SaaS tooling into scalable provisioning workflows.
• Own the access request process end-to-end, and maintain the runbooks, documentation, and self-service resources that keep the team unblocked.

Service Desk & Employee Experience

• Partner on IT support for a 70+ person team –– triaging and resolving hardware and software issues with pragmatism and good judgment.
• Own device lifecycle and support new hire onboarding end-to-end, ensuring a seamless Day 1 experience.
• You Might Be a Great Fit If You…
• Have 4+ years of experience in IT engineering, corporate security, or a combined IT/SecOps role with hands-on ownership of identity and SaaS environments.
• Have deep, practical experience with Okta — SSO configuration, lifecycle management, MFA policies, and group-based provisioning.
• Have built or managed HRIS/IT integrations and understand how provisioning pipelines work across HR, identity, and downstream SaaS tools.
• Have run access reviews and understand what SOC 2 access control evidence looks like — logs, approval chains, audit trails.
• Are comfortable in the command line and can write scripts (Terraform, Python, Bash, or similar) to automate repetitive IT work.
• Have supported end users at a fast-moving company and know how to balance velocity with security without being a blocker.
• Think in terms of systems and workflows, not just tickets — you look for root causes and build durable fixes.
• Thrive in ambiguous, high-agency environments and want to own a function, not just execute tasks.

Bonus Points For

• Hands-on experience with Rippling or a similar HRIS platform.
• Familiarity with MDM platforms (Jamf, Kandji, or Intune) for Mac and Windows fleets.
• Experience with Google Workspace administration and security hardening.
• Prior work at a startup where you wore both IT and security hats simultaneously.

Why Join Us

• Drive corporate IT at a company deploying AI to governments, hospitals, and critical industries — the stakes are real.
• Build systems from scratch with a clear roadmap, real ownership, and direct impact on how the company scales IT.
• Work alongside senior engineers from Tesla, DeepMind, Databricks, and other top engineering organizations.
• Ship meaningful automation and IT platform infrastructure — not just keep the lights on.
• Earn competitive compensation and meaningful equity in a high-growth company.
