Role Overview

WorkOS is seeking a remote Systems Engineer to join the IT team across the United States and Canada. This full-time role suits an experienced engineer who wants to design, build, and automate internal technical infrastructure rather than handle basic help desk tasks.

Key Responsibilities

Own and evolve identity infrastructure including Okta, Google Workspace, and downstream SaaS integrations.
Architect and ship automation across the IT stack for onboarding, offboarding, access controls, and SaaS lifecycle management.
Manage macOS endpoints end-to-end with zero-touch provisioning, policy enforcement, and remediation scripting via MDM.
Manage infrastructure as code using Terraform for identity, SaaS, and cloud resources.
Act as the escalation point for complex tier 2 and tier 3 system issues, partnering with an MSP vendor to ensure smooth resolutions.
Evaluate and enable new SaaS tools while piloting emerging technologies like AI-powered IT automation.
Create clear documentation and runbooks to reduce operational toil and drive an automation-first culture.

Requirements

Bring seven or more years of professional experience in IT systems, infrastructure, or identity engineering.
Demonstrate deep expertise in Okta, including workflows, integrations, policy design, and SCIM provisioning.
Show proficiency in scripting languages such as Python and Bash, alongside familiarity with REST APIs, webhooks, and authentication flows.
Possess hands-on experience using Terraform for managing infrastructure and configuration as code.
Demonstrate strong macOS fleet management capabilities utilizing MDM solutions, scripting, and zero-touch provisioning.
Exhibit a deep understanding of single sign-on protocols like SAML and OAuth 2.0, plus SCIM provisioning patterns.
Maintain experience with Google Workspace administration at scale and a solid grasp of networking fundamentals.

Nice to Have

Experience with artificial intelligence and LLM tools for IT automation, such as agentic workflows or AI integrations.
Familiarity with GitOps or declarative approaches to device and identity management.
Background in cloud infrastructure platforms like GCP or AWS.
Experience navigating SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance standards.
Experience operating within an MSP-augmented IT support model.
