Staff Systems Engineer, IT

Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is turning repetitive IT lifecycle and service work into versioned, observable, AI-assisted automation that a whole remote company relies on.
If you love owning platforms end to end and turning repetitive manual work into durable, versioned automation, this is your kind of role. You will treat IT systems like software, wire together the tools a whole company depends on, and get to prove your impact in deflection rates and reliability numbers you actually watch. It suits a curious generalist who picks up unfamiliar systems fast and enjoys working in the open with a remote, async-first team.
