REQUIREMENTS: - 6+ years of relevant IT systems or infrastructure experience - US Citizenship and ability to obtain security clearance - Strong Terraform expertise with ability to implement workflows and train others - Experience with FleetDM for building policies and reports - macOS and Linux desktop support and troubleshooting experience - Proven track record defining and automating manual IT processes - Strong understanding of identity management (SAML, OIDC, SCIM) - Attention to quality, correctness, scale, and consistency - Interest in process and procedures, not just task completion NICE TO HAVES: - Okta administration experience - Python or other common scripting language proficiency - Government or defense experience (CMMC, FedRAMP, or similar) - Datadog experience with dashboard and alert building - AWS, GCP, or similar cloud provider management - Nix experience - Tracecat or equivalent SOAR platform experience
