Senior IT Systems Engineer

As a Senior IT Systems Engineer based in our Seattle, WA office, you will own the systems, integrations, and automation that keep Amperity running. You'll engineer our systems, connect them to each other, govern access to our most advanced platforms, and automate away the manual toil that slows people down.

You'll take on the hard, ambiguous problems: untangling a data-platform permissions model, building an integration so onboarding runs itself, or deploying a new AI tool for the company. You'll partner closely with the Security, Engineering, & People teams, and share your experience with the rest of the IT team. Strong technical depth, a bias toward automation, and excellent judgment about risk and access are essential.
