Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

About the role
- KoBold's ~280 geoscientists, data scientists, and engineers work remote-first across North America, Zambia, the DRC, Sweden, and field exploration sites around the world.
- This is a builder's role with technical leadership attached.
- Engineer, you are the senior-most hands-on engineer for KoBold's client platform:
Responsibilities
- Design and implement zero-touch provisioning and automated reimaging workflows for macOS (Jamf) and Windows (Intune) endpoints
- Drive device lifecycle management: EoL/EoS tracking, hardware refresh planning, and inventory management across Jamf, Intune, CrowdStrike, and related tooling
- Create self-service application deployment and access workflows that reduce helpdesk volume and empower employees
- Help build the IT roadmap with the Head of Infrastructure Engineering, setting technical direction for endpoint management and fleet automation across all KoBold offices and field sites in 10+ countries
- Own Okta administration: SSO integrations, SCIM provisioning, group management, access request workflows, and lifecycle automation
- Manage Google Workspace administration, including license management, security settings, and break-glass super-admin governance
- Build automation for minimal-touch employee onboarding and offboarding - new hires fully provisioned on day one, departures cleanly deprovisioned
- Support AI tooling rollout (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and related tools) across the endpoint fleet, including deployment, configuration, and employee enablement
- Run the software procurement lifecycle - new purchases, renewals, expansions, and cancellations - and build the renewal pipeline tooling so user access is never disrupted by a lapsed license
- These minerals are needed to build electric infrastructure, vehicles, data centers, and electronics.
Requirements
- 7+ years in client platform engineering, IT engineering, or similar roles combining hands-on technical depth with operational ownership
- Strong prioritization instincts - you can look at a long list of IT initiatives and distinguish what actually matters from nice-to-haves, and explain why
- Comfort with ambiguity and a dynamic work environment
- All candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States or Canada.
- Deep experience with
Nice to have
- Strong experience with identity and access management (Okta strongly preferred): SSO integration, SCIM provisioning, access request workflows, and lifecycle automation
- Experience supporting global teams across multiple time zones is a strong plus
- Familiarity with Google Workspace administration, CrowdStrike, Datadog, or the MacAdmins open-source ecosystem (osquery, Santa, Nudge, AutoPkg) is a plus
- CST or EST time zone preferred.
Compensation
- US pay reflects a different market with different competitive dynamics, so we benchmark roles against the local market rather than converting the listed figure.
Benefits
- The Mingomba team brings together mine and processing engineers, geologists, data scientists, software engineers, and community, health & safety, construction, and operations specialists.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a dynamic work environment; eagerness to take on an evolving range of responsibilities at a fast-growing company
Company info
- In the coming decades, demand for critical minerals such as copper, lithium, and cobalt will continue to grow.
- However, the mining industry is making 10x fewer discoveries per dollar spent on exploration compared to 30 years ago because the easy-to-find, near surface deposits have largely been discovered.
- KoBold was founded to be the first AI native mineral exploration, mine development, and technology development company.
- Our goal is to turn mineral exploration into a repeatable science to discover the minerals the world needs-by integrating artificial intelligence, human intelligence, and new technology.
- Our multidisciplinary teams of data scientists, engineers, and geologists work together to build data systems, design new sensors, and establish industry-leading workflows to develop and test subsurface predictions on our exploration projects.
- Our first discovery, Mingomba, is a high-grade copper deposit in Zambia, found after spending materially less than industry average.
- KoBold runs exploration programs in eight countries, all with the potential for another discovery.
- KoBold is privately held; investors include institutional asset managers T.
- Rowe Price and Canada Pension Plan Investments; technology venture capitalists Andreessen Horowitz, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BOND Capital, Durable Capital, StepStone, and Standard Investments; and strategic natural resources companies BHP and Mitsubishi.
Visa & Work Authorization
- All candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States or Canada.
