Job Responsibility

Identity, SSO & Access Management
SSO & IdP — configure and maintain SSO integrations (SAML, OIDC, SCIM) across our SaaS stack, and keep our identity provider clean and well-governed
Account management — provision, modify, and deprovision accounts across productivity and engineering tools
manage groups, roles, and permission boundaries
Access requests — triage and fulfill access requests with appropriate approvals
document why access was granted and review it on a regular cadence
Onboarding & Offboarding
Onboarding — equip new hires with the accounts, tools, hardware, and access they need before day one, and walk them through it
Offboarding — execute clean, auditable offboarding: revoke access, recover assets, preserve data per policy, and close the loop with people ops
IT Administration & Productivity Systems
Day-to-day admin — administer Google Workspace, Slack, identity providers, MDM, password managers, and the rest of our SaaS productivity stack
Internal support — be the first line of help for employees with IT issues
resolve, escalate, and document
Security Controls & Monitoring
Controls — enforce baseline security configurations across SaaS apps, endpoints, and identity (MFA, conditional access, least privilege)
Monitoring — watch our security tooling for anomalies and alerts
investigate, triage, and escalate as needed
Compliance support — help keep us audit-ready by maintaining clean records of access, changes, and reviews
Automation & Scripting
Light coding — automate the parts of the job that should be automated. Expect to write Python, Bash, or TypeScript glue code, hit SaaS APIs, and build small internal tools
Continuous improvement — improve the systems and runbooks you inherit
if a process is painful or manual, fix it

Requirements

0–3 years in IT engineering, IT operations, systems administration, or a similar role (internships and substantial side projects count)
Working knowledge of SSO and identity concepts: SAML, OIDC, SCIM, MFA, and the difference between authentication and authorization
Comfort in a terminal and with at least one scripting language (Python, Bash, or similar). You should be comfortable writing code, testing it, and committing it using git
A security-first mindset: you understand least privilege, you don't share credentials, and you take audit trails seriously
Strong written communication. You can explain a fix to a non-technical teammate and document a process so the next person doesn't have to ask
A bias toward ownership. When something breaks, you don't wait to be told
you investigate and follow through
Availability to work hours that overlap with the US Central Time (CST) zone (at least 4–5 hours of daily overlap with the team)
English and Russian at B2 level, for communication with stakeholders and team
Location: any, except Russia and Belarus

Nice to have

Experience with an identity provider such as Okta, Google Cloud Identity, etc.
Hands-on experience administering Google Workspace and a chat platform (Slack/Teams)
Experience with SaaS security tooling, SIEM, or endpoint detection (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Sumo Logic, Datadog)
Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA
Comfort with infrastructure-as-code or configuration-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and basic IAM in those environments
Prior experience in a startup or other fast-moving environment
