Requirements: Background check and security awareness training prior to system access

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Altruist we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role, but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways

Responsibilities

• Lead technical projects end to end, including scoping, design, pilot, rollout, and handoff.
• Implement and maintain SASE and zero trust controls across the environment, and build automation and integrations that remove manual work.
• Endpoint engineering across macOS and Windows, including MDM and fleet-scale configuration management

Requirements

• Strong people skills and a service mindset — you take complex escalations yourself and handle them with patience, clarity, and genuine care for the person on the other end
• Corporate networking and secure access — Wi-Fi, VPN, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, firewall fundamentals — plus hands-on experience with SASE, conditional access, and device trust
• An AI-native approach to the work — you already use AI to write code, troubleshoot, and automate, with a clear sense of where it adds value — backed by real scripting ability (Python, Bash, PowerShell) and comfort with APIs
• Identity platform experience — Okta and/or Google Workspace preferred, though any IdP works — including SSO, SCIM, and lifecycle automation
• 7–10 years in IT engineering, corporate infrastructure, or a related discipline, with demonstrated ownership of systems end to end in a large or fast-growing organization
• Schedule: Full-time, with occasional scheduling flexibility needed around planned deployments

Preferred

• Experience in financial services or another regulated environment, including SOC 2, FINRA/SEC, or similar control frameworks and audit cycles
• Experience supporting a fleet of 500+ endpoints, or a company through a period of rapid headcount growth
• Experience standing up or replacing a core IT system — an IdP, MDM, or ITSM platform — rather than only operating one
• Experience building internal tooling or AI-assisted workflows for IT operations
• Infrastructure-as-code or configuration management experience (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
• Exposure to M&A integration, office buildouts, or other IT work driven by company growth
