You'll own how they're configured, and how they talk to each other.\nThis role is for someone who reaches for an API when the admin console runs out of road. A lot of the work is eliminating the manual handoffs between systems: the spreadsheet someone maintains by hand, the ticket someone copies into a second tool, the approval that lives in a DM. You'll find those and replace them with something that runs itself. You'll partner across Finance, People Ops, and Engineering to understand what they need, then build it. Our IAM Engineer owns the identity plane, so you'll work together on SSO and provisioning for the applications you administer.\nCandidates should have strong interpersonal skills and be able to thrive in a creative, scrappy, and collaborative environment in which the best ideas change the company’s direction on a regular basis.\nResponsibilities\nBusiness Platform Administration\nOwn Google Workspace administration: tenant configuration, organizational units, Drive and sharing governance, email routing and security, and rollout of new capabilities\nAdminister Jira, Jira Service Management, and Confluence, including projects, workflows, custom fields, forms, permission schemes, automation rules, and reporting\nOwn Slack workspace configuration: channel standards, app and integration approvals, retention, and Slack Connect governance\nMaintain a clear administration model for each platform, including who can change what and how changes are reviewed\nIntegrations and Automation\nDesign and build integrations between business systems using APIs, webhooks, and automation platforms\nWrite and maintain code that automates recurring work across SaaS tools, with version control, monitoring, and error handling\nReplace manual processes and shadow spreadsheets with reliable, observable workflows\nOwn the reliability of the integrations you build, including alerting when they fail and runbooks for when they need help\nBusiness Partnership\nWork with Finance, People Ops, Legal, and Engineering to translate process problems into system designs\nDrive intake, requirements, and rollout for new business applications, including evaluation, pilot, and adoption\nBuild reporting and dashboards that give teams visibility into their own work\nDocument configurations and workflows so the next person can pick them up\nSaaS Stack Health\nMaintain our SaaS application inventory, including ownership, license counts, and renewal dates\nRight-size licensing and surface underused spend\nPartner with our IAM Engineer to bring applications under SSO and automated provisioning\nOwn the application layer of our compliance framework (NIST or equivalent), including access control, audit logging, and data retention\nRequired Qualifications\nExperience administering business platforms such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Atlassian products, or Slack at an organization of meaningful size\nExperience writing code against SaaS APIs to automate work the admin console couldn't do\nExperience designing and maintaining integrations between business systems using REST APIs, webhooks, or an integration platform\nAbility to work directly with non-technical stakeholders, understand the underlying process problem, and propose a system that solves it\nAbility to write clear documentation for both administrators and end users\nDesired Qualifications\nAtlassian experience: Jira workflow and permission scheme design, JSM request types and queues, and Confluence space administration\nGoogle Workspace administration experience, including Drive governance, Vault, and security settings\nScripting and development skills (Python, JavaScript, or Google Apps Script) with source control and testing practices\nExperience with SaaS lifecycle management: evaluation, implementation, renewal, and license optimization\nFamiliarity with SSO and SCIM from the application administrator's side\nExperience supporting a security or compliance framework (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or equivalent)\nThe above qualifications are desired, not required.
