About the role
- Role Summary We're seeking an IT Systems Engineer to join our growing IT team.
- You'll also be the onsite IT presence in San Francisco, supporting our executive team and running the technology in our new office.
Responsibilities
- Own and deploy the architecture, reliability, and roadmap for core IT platforms (identity and access, device management, endpoint security, or IT automation)
- Design and build automation and internal tooling that eliminates manual work: onboarding and offboarding workflows, access lifecycle management, device enrollment and posture enforcement, and self-service for employees.
- Lead multi-team technical initiatives end to end, from architecture and design docs through rollout and communication, partnering with Security, Engineering, and People teams
- Set technical standards and patterns for the IT team, and write clear design documentation and runbooks others can build on
- Evaluate tools and vendors, weigh build-vs-buy tradeoffs, and make recommendations to IT leadership with clear reasoning on cost, risk, and scale
- Partner with Security to implement and maintain the technical controls behind our security and compliance requirements
- Mentor IT Support Specialists and raise the team's technical bar
- Own technology for our San Francisco office end to end, including network and internet connectivity, Wi-Fi, A/V, and equipment, and coordinate with ISPs and vendors
- Provide white-glove support to executives: proactive and responsive with a high bar for reliability before and during important meetings and events
- Strong scripting and automation skills (for example Python, TypeScript, Bash, or PowerShell), including working with APIs and integrating SaaS systems, and hands-on experience using AI coding assistants and LLM-based tools to build and ship automation faster
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in IT, systems engineering, or a similar role, with a track record of owning platforms rather than only operating them
- Hands-on experience with enterprise networking (switching, Wi-Fi, firewalls, ISP circuits) and with conference room and video conferencing systems
Nice to have
- Experience with identity governance and access lifecycle automation (for example Okta Identity Governance, group rules, access certifications)
- Experience with zero trust networking (for example Cloudflare Zero Trust) and endpoint detection and response tooling
- Infrastructure-as-code experience (for example Terraform) applied to IT systems
- Experience supporting security and compliance programs from the IT side
- Experience standing up or opening a new office, including vendor and circuit coordination
- Temporal Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
- All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.
- We embrace and celebrate differences and diversity.
Benefits
- A bias to action and a history of self-education
- You'll work closely with IT, Security, Engineering, and People teams to design, build, and scale the platforms that keep a fast-growing company productive and secure.
