The role

A senior IT and security engineer will own the technical direction for identity, endpoints, and access. You will design identity and access models, manage an Apple fleet, and set security posture across enterprise and production systems.

What you will do

  • Own endpoint strategy across a heavily Apple fleet using Intune, Apple Business Manager, and CrowdStrike Falcon.
  • Set the posture across enterprise and production systems including source control, cloud data, and managed infrastructure.
  • Extend the access model to production developer and data platforms.
  • Automate manual request queues using Okta Workflows, Google APIs, Python, PowerShell, or Bash.
  • Deepen operational readiness through runbooks, escalation paths, and documentation.
  • Own onboarding and offboarding end to end.
  • Partner with the security function on device trust, conditional access, and privileged access.

Required qualifications

  • Deep, current, hands-on experience.
  • Experience owning a function and making architectural calls.
  • Real identity depth with Okta or comparable.
  • Automation instinct.
  • Endpoint management at scale across mixed platforms using Intune, Jamf, or equivalent, plus an endpoint security agent fleet.
  • Security depth for least privilege, conditional access, device trust, and privileged access.
  • Judgment about production and developer access.
  • Hands-on with AI tooling in your own work.
  • Comfort inheriting something partly built and partly undocumented.
  • Calm under competing demands.

Nice to have

  • Experience supporting a company through a period of rapid headcount growth
  • Zero-trust or conditional-access architecture

  • Cloudflare One administration and policy configuration
  • Hardware-key MFA rollouts (YubiKey, FIDO2)
