Our flagship product, the NodeZeroTM platform, delivers production-safe autonomous pentests and other key assessment operations that scale across the largest internal, external, cloud, and hybrid cloud environments.

We're committed to helping solve our common security problems: ineffective security tools, false positives resulting in alert fatigue, blind spots, \"checkbox” security culture, cybersecurity skills shortage, and the long lead time and expense of hiring outside consultants. Collectively, we are a team of learn it alls, committed to a culture of respect, collaboration, ownership, and results.\nWhat You’ll Do\nWe’re looking for an IT Engineer who looks at every process as an opportunity to automate. If you’ve ever looked at your coffee machine and thought, “I wish I could run a bash command to make my morning cup” and then made it happen, you’re who we’re looking for.\nYou will be the primary owner of the IT automations that keep our operations running. Whether that means Workato recipes, Okta Workflows, Agentic Support flows, or really cool crons, you will run the automation backbone of the whole of IT. You will take it over from day one and keep it running without failures. Then you will make it better. You will build quick wins that give hours back to IT, create workflows that remove manual steps, and start moving IT configuration, infrastructure, and identity into code that is versioned, reviewed, and repeatable.\nThis is a senior, hands-on role on the IT Engineering team. You will set your own priorities, work with little supervision, and partner with Security Operations and IT Business Applications wherever your work touches theirs.\nThis role will be responsible for…..\nOwning onboarding, termination, and device logistics automation end to end: keeping every flow healthy, finding the root cause of every failure, and fixing it for good\n\nRunning the IT Workato workspace, including recipes, connections, error handling, and alerts.\n\nBuilding the safety net: runbooks, monitoring, and a clear failure response for the IT flows that cannot break\n\nBuilding workflows in Okta and Rovo/Jira that remove manual steps from IT processes\n\nLaying the foundation for IT as code: a repository, cloud-hosted in-house tooling, and Terraform, CI/CD, and linters, with Python and Bash to tie it together\n\nPartnering with Security Operations on access scoping, termination timing, and cloud approval, and with Business Applications on platform-level Workato access and limits\n\nTaking over from the engineer who runs these flows today through a partnered hand-off. Ownership transfers when you start, and runbooks and peer review back you up.\n\nHolding a reliability bar of 99% or better each calendar month.\n\nReporting on flow reliability, failures, and their causes to IT leadership\n\nDemonstrating a commitment to integrity, process improvement, and customer satisfaction\n\nWhat You’ll Bring\nMust have hands-on experience building and running automations in a workflow or integration platform. Workato is preferred, and tools such as Zapier, Tines, or Okta Workflows are equally welcome\n\nMust have experience writing Python to automate business or IT processes, including calls to REST APIs\n\nMust have a habit of finding root causes: you add error handling and alerts so failures show up before people notice them\n\nMust have working knowledge of APIs, webhooks, and data mapping between systems\n\nMust be able to write runbooks that another engineer can use to run and repair a flow, and to turn a business process into working automation with Security, People, and IT partners\n\nMinimum Education and Experience\nPractical experience or a Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field\n\n5+ years of experience in IT engineering, systems engineering, or automation engineering\n\nDevOps experience is a bonus\n\nExperience supporting a distributed or remote-first workforce\n\nPrior experience owning an automation platform or critical workflows with little supervision\n\nRequired Tech Stack Experience\nWorkato (or a similar automation platform, such as Zapier, Tines, or Okta Workflows)\n\nPython or Bash\n\nREST APIs and webhooks\n\nCollaboration platforms (e.g., Slack, Google Workspace)\n\nWhat Sets You Apart?\nYou know Okta well, including administration, the API, and Okta Workflows\n\nYou have managed configuration, infrastructure, or identity as code with Terraform, CI/CD, and linters, and you are comfortable in Bash and Linux\n\nYou have built Rovo or Jira workflows, or used Workato Genie or similar AI agent features, for real operational work\n\nYou have automated onboarding, offboarding, or device lifecycle processes and can show the reliability results\n\nYou have worked in a high-growth SaaS or cybersecurity company\n\nYou hold relevant certifications such as Okta, Workato, or similar\n\nTravel Required\nWe are a fully remote company, and this job may require up to 10% of travel to be successful.\nPerks of Horizon3\nInclusive Team: We value diversity and promote an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.\n\nGrowth Opportunities: Be part of a dynamic and growing team with numerous career development opportunities.\n\nInnovative Culture: Work in a collaborative environment that encourages creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.\n\nHybrid & Remote Work: We embrace a mix of remote and hybrid work models depending on role and location, including our Chicago office, where some roles require regular in-office presence.\n\nCompetitive Compensation: We offer competitive salary, equity and benefits.
