AI at project44

We expect every project44 team member, regardless of role or function, to actively leverage AI in their day-to-day work. Whether you’re building product, serving customers, managing people, or running operations, AI is a tool you’re expected to use with intent, curiosity, and judgment.

We do expect everyone to be an intelligent user of AI: able to identify where it adds value, direct it effectively, evaluate outputs critically, and govern it responsibly. We invest in our team’s AI fluency because we believe it’s a competitive advantage for every person at project44, not just our engineers.

If you’re driven to solve meaningful problems, leverage AI to scale rapidly, drive impact daily, and be part of a high-performance team - we should talk.

In-office Commitment: Our office is where ideas spark, connections thrive, and innovation comes alive. We are looking for candidates who are enthusiastic and committed to joining our team on-site, in our beautiful office four days a week.

About the Role

project44's Global IT Services team is looking for an IT Automation Engineer to own the automation and integration backbone connecting our HR, Finance, Sales, and Security systems - while also building and running two business-critical internal platforms from the ground up. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who is equally comfortable writing a Workato recipe, querying Snowflake, standing up a small internal application, and jumping into a helpdesk ticket or production incident when it matters.

What You'll Do

Systems Integration & Business Process Automation

• Own the Workato platform: build, monitor, and maintain the recipes, connections, and AI agents that automate cross-system business processes; triage and fix failed or runaway jobs
• Co-own the HR-to-IT identity lifecycle, driving the UKG Pro ↔ Azure AD sync that powers joiner/leaver/employee-change automation, including edge cases and downstream SSO coordination
• Maintain finance systems automation, including NetSuite ↔ Salesforce integrations
• Own people-data and compliance pipelines, including the Culture Amp SFTP integration and the hybrid-work compliance pipeline feeding manager dashboards and Power BI
• Serve as the go-to engineer for Retool app incidents that block Customer Success or Finance workflows

Build and Own Internal Platforms

• Design, build, and operate project44's internal Project Registry - the system of record for every internal app, integration, dashboard, and AI component, along with its governance workflows
• Design, build, and operate project44's AI/Claude spend governance platform - a business-critical system for monitoring and controlling company-wide Anthropic Claude spend, including data pipelines, dashboards, Slack bot workflows, and the policy engine behind it
• Harden both systems for production use: rate limiting, kill switches, phased rollouts, and data-quality safeguards
• Author architecture documentation and decision records to support review and long-term ownership

IT Support, Endpoint Security & Compliance

• Triage and resolve helpdesk, escalation, and offboarding tickets across SaaS and hardware requests
• Build automation and scripts (PowerShell/Python) to collect endpoint compliance evidence for SOC 2 and third-party audits
• Handle joiner/mover/leaver operations, including account terminations and identity-sync troubleshooting

SaaS, Identity & Vendor Administration

• Support major platform migrations (e.g., Slack Enterprise Grid)
• Run security review and provisioning for new MCP servers and SaaS/AI tool requests in partnership with Security/InfoSec
• Administer SSO/security configuration for vendor tools and troubleshoot integration issues
• Periodically audit service accounts and credential usage for security reviews

What You'll Bring

Integration & Automation

• Experience with Workato (or a similar iPaaS): recipe design, webhooks, debugging
• SQL and Snowflake experience (schemas, views, service accounts, performance/data-quality troubleshooting)
• Familiarity with Salesforce and NetSuite data models and integration patterns
• Experience with UKG Pro and Azure AD/Entra ID identity flows
• Depth in Microsoft Entra ID: dynamic groups, Conditional Access, enterprise applications, SCIM/SAML provisioning
• Azure hosting experience: Automation runbooks, Functions, Logic Apps, Key Vault, managed identities
• Microsoft Intune / endpoint management and device compliance experience

Application Development / Low-Code

• Experience with Retool for building and maintaining internal apps
• Experience with Lovable or similar AI-assisted app builders
• Working knowledge of REST APIs, webhooks, and basic backend service design (auth, RBAC, rate limiting)
• Azure fundamentals: Runbooks, Table Storage, Static Web Apps, storage/containers
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps

AI / LLM Operations

• Hands-on experience with Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or similar LLM platforms, including usage/cost monitoring and governance
• Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and standing up or reviewing MCP servers
• Experience with Slack API/bot development (slash commands, DMs, interactive workflows)

IT Support, Security & Compliance

• Experience with Freshservice or a comparable ITSM/helpdesk platform
• Endpoint management and security experience (e.g., Microsoft Defender)
• SOC 2 or similar compliance audit support experience
• Scripting for operations/automation: PowerShell and Python

Other

• Power BI experience (report/dashboard consumption and troubleshooting)
• GitHub and general version-control literacy

Ideal Candidate Profile

• A full-stack “builder” mindset - as comfortable writing a Workato recipe or SQL query as designing a small internal application end-to-end and documenting the architecture behind it
• A high degree of ownership and independence, including comfort with production incident response
• A strong written communicator, able to produce clear status updates, handover documentation, and architecture decision records
• Comfortable working across HR, Finance, Sales, Security, and Engineering stakeholders
• Prior IT support/helpdesk background is a plus

• In-office Commitment: Employees are expected to contribute to our collaborative culture by working in the office Four days weekly.
