• Use agentic development practices to design and build secure, scalable internal tools that automate workflows, improve employee productivity, and extend IT’s ability to support the business.
• Build and maintain technical standards, documentation, and operational processes that improve reliability, security, monitoring, and supportability.
• Translate business and stakeholder needs into well-engineered solutions, partnering across departments and with third-party vendors when needed.
• Act as a subject matter expert within IT, driving projects of diverse scope and raising the bar for operational excellence across the department.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in IT engineering, systems administration, network engineering, or a related corporate IT role.
• Expertise supporting modern corporate IT environments, including identity platforms, collaboration tools, endpoint operating systems, and device management.
• Demonstrated ability to plan and execute complex projects independently, identify root causes, and drive solutions that support departmental goals.
• Strong written documentation and cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to build trust and operate as a reliable technical advisor.
