IT Systems Administrator

United StatesRemote2+ YOE
Summary

Own day-to-day identity and endpoint operations for a remote-first SaaS company. Administer Okta, Iru MDM, and Slack while automating JML workflows and maintaining security compliance across global time zones.

About the role

Identity & Access Management

  • Administer Okta day-to-day: user provisioning, group management, SSO application configuration, and MFA policy enforcement
  • Own joiner-mover-leaver (JML) workflows — ensure access is granted on day one, adjusted on role change, and fully revoked on departure
  • Maintain and improve Okta lifecycle automation
  • Audit access regularly: identify stale accounts, over-provisioned roles, and orphaned app assignments
  • Support FIDO2/WebAuthn and YubiKey deployment for privileged access

Endpoint Management & MDM

  • Administer Iru (formerly Kandji) MDM for macOS fleet: device enrollment, configuration profiles, compliance baselines, and policy enforcement
  • Ensure all managed endpoints meet security baselines — disk encryption, screen lock, patch cadence, and EDR agent deployment
  • Support onboarding hardware logistics: device procurement, enrollment, and first-day readiness
  • Identify and track unmanaged or out-of-compliance devices; drive remediation
  • Maintain MDM configuration as code where possible

SaaS & Collaboration Platform Operations

  • Administer Slack workspace: channel governance, app integration reviews, guest access management, and enterprise grid operations
  • Manage the corporate SaaS portfolio — own app provisioning, license tracking, and access reviews for tools like Google Workspace, Zoom, Notion
  • Review and approve new SaaS integration requests against security and data handling standards
  • Maintain an accurate inventory of corporate applications

Automation & Process Improvement

  • Identify repetitive IT tasks and eliminate them through automation — scripting, workflow tooling, or Okta lifecycle rules
  • Write and maintain runbooks for all core IT operations
  • Contribute to IT metrics: onboarding time-to-access, offboarding completion rate, MDM compliance percentage, and access review cadence
  • Partner with the Security Engineering team to close gaps surfaced by compliance audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001)

Requirements

  • 2–4 years in a corporate IT, IT operations, or identity administration role at a cloud-native or SaaS company
  • Hands-on Okta administration experience: SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, and group/policy configuration
  • Experience with a modern MDM platform (Kandji/Iru, Jamf, or equivalent) managing a macOS-first fleet
  • Working knowledge of JML processes
  • Comfortable with scripting or automation (Bash, Python, or similar)
  • Async-first communicator: document decisions, write clear runbooks

Nice to Have

  • Experience with FIDO2/WebAuthn deployment or hardware security key programs (YubiKey 5 series)
  • Familiarity with Slack enterprise grid administration including app governance and Connect channel management
  • Exposure to SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence collection for identity and endpoint controls
  • Experience managing IT operations across APAC and Americas time zones simultaneously
  • Familiarity with Google Workspace admin, including directory sync and group-based provisioning
  • Prior work in a security-adjacent IT role where identity hygiene and access control were first-class concerns
