This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of IT engineering and corporate security: you’ll own the IT execution across identity, access, device, and SaaS — contributing directly to security programs like SOC 2 and Zero Trust — while also serving as the first line of support for our team’s day-to-day needs. You’ll work closely with Security, HR, and Engineering to build the operational foundation that lets Brain’Co. scale without sacrificing security or employee experience.\n\nWhat you’ll work on:\nIdentity & Access Management\n\nOwn our Okta environment and consolidate SSO: migrations, managing provisioning, lifecycle automation, and federation across all departments.\n\nImplement and improve our 3-tier access entitlement model: auto-grant for Tier 1, manager approval for Tier 2, manager + security approval for Tier 3.\n\nBuild and operationalize HRIS-triggered provisioning and offboarding automation across our identity and SaaS stack.\n\nCorporate Security Operations\n\nSupport access review programs and contribute to SOC 2 compliance efforts — maintaining audit trails, approval chains, and provisioning logs.\n\nContribute to Zero Trust and endpoint security initiatives: device trust, EDR integration, MDM, and least-privilege access across corporate and BYOD devices.\n\nDrive SaaS hygiene across our tooling estate — shadow IT discovery, configuration hardening, and data classification in partnership with the security team.\n\nIT Engineering & Automation\n\nBuild the integrations and automation that eliminate manual IT work — connecting identity, HRIS, and SaaS tooling into scalable provisioning workflows.\n\nOwn the access request process end-to-end, and maintain the runbooks, documentation, and self-service resources that keep the team unblocked.\n\nService Desk & Employee Experience\n\nPartner on IT support for a 70+ person team – triaging and resolving hardware and software issues with pragmatism and good judgment.\n\nOwn device lifecycle and support new hire onboarding end-to-end, ensuring a seamless Day 1 experience.\n\nYou might be a great fit if you…\n\nHave 4+ years of experience in IT engineering, corporate security, or a combined IT/SecOps role with hands‑on ownership of identity and SaaS environments.\n\nHave deep, practical experience with Okta — SSO configuration, lifecycle management, MFA policies, and group-based provisioning.\n\nHave built or managed HRIS/IT integrations and understand how provisioning pipelines work across HR, identity, and downstream SaaS tools.\n\nHave run access reviews and understand what SOC 2 access control evidence looks like — logs, approval chains, audit trails.\n\nAre comfortable in the command line and can write scripts (Terraform, Python, Bash, or similar) to automate repetitive IT work.\n\nHave supported end users at a fast-moving company and know how to balance velocity with security without being a blocker.\n\nThink in terms of systems and workflows, not just tickets — you look for root causes and build durable fixes.\n\nThrive in ambiguous, high-agency environments and want to own a function, not just execute tasks.\n\nBonus points for:\n\nHands‑on experience with Rippling or a similar HRIS platform.\n\nFamiliarity with MDM platforms (Jamf, Kandji, or Intune) for Mac and Windows fleets.\n\nExperience with Google Workspace administration and security hardening.\n\nPrior work at a startup where you wore both IT and security hats simultaneously.\n\nWhy join us:\n\nDrive corporate IT at a company deploying AI to governments, hospitals, and critical industries — the stakes are real.\n\nBuild systems from scratch with a clear roadmap, real ownership, and direct impact on how the company scales IT.\n\nWork alongside senior engineers from Tesla, DeepMind, Databricks, and other top engineering organizations.\n\nShip meaningful automation and IT platform infrastructure — not just keep the lights on.\n\nEarn competitive compensation and meaningful equity in a high-growth company.\n\nBenefits\n\nCompetitive salary plus equity\n\nDaily lunches\n\nCommuter benefits\n\n401(k)\n\nMedical, Dental, and Vision\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\n#J-18808-Ljbffr","company":"Brain","rawCompany":"brain","city":"Millbrae","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-06-17T04:17:12.805Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer
