Company mission
To simplify infrastructure access by helping companies manage and audit access to their databases, servers, clusters, and web applications.
Role
Who you are
- Working in cloud service provider environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Writing, maintaining, and deploying infrastructure using Terraform
- Supporting and administering macOS, Windows, and *nix systems
- Proficiency in at least one scripting language (which language isn’t as important as capability)
- And you bring the mindset to match:
- You stay calm during incidents, focus on root cause—not blame—and help the team learn and improve
- You document what you build and fix, because knowledge-hoarding ≠ job security
- You understand that IT exists to support the business; collaboration and humility are non-negotiable
- You bring a “Yes, and…” attitude, own your mistakes, and proactively drive improvements wherever you see the opportunity
- You can engage across all levels—from ICs to execs—and tailor your approach to the person and the problem
- You thrive in a high-growth startup and know that great internal support is part of what makes scale possible
- Available to work standard CST or EST hours
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an IT Engineer who can interconnect all our IT toys like Okta, Jamf, and countless SaaS apps
- Someone who can architect seamless, scalable IT experiences that delight users, reduce friction, and accelerate productivity—because when systems flow, teams grow
- If troubleshooting is just another form of meditation and you get a thrill from making onboarding seamless and access airtight—you’re our kind of human
- Manage our corporate cloud infrastructure using IaC tools, CI/CD pipelines, scripting, and automation
- Create playbooks, scripts, and automations for repeatable tasks
- Collaborate on designs and architecture, then drive implementation with autonomy—solo or leading a team effort
- Build systems to be updated and scaled with minimal impact on internal users
- Continuously evaluate and improve IT tools, processes, and workflows
- Provide support to our IT helpdesk team and assist internal users
Our take
With cyber threats becoming increasingly common over the last decade, securing access permissions within data infrastructures is essential to enterprise survival. However, managing this task can be expensive and complicated, leading some small businesses to combine various budget open-source data services which results in insecure and convoluted infrastructures.
strongDM provides a tool for managing permissions and access within data infrastructures, achieved by ensuring information is siloed to prevent one person from accessing all parts of the infrastructure. In addition to providing these modular security features, the company also makes it easier for technical staff to access the information that they need based on one-click identity checks.
Whilst plenty of data infrastructure tools already exist with the purpose of securing permission, strongDM have made the smart move of integrating their siloed approach to auditable permissions whilst making access easier for those with permission. The company claims that its service guarantees frictionless and auditable data infrastructure by also automating access logging and data capturing across entire IT stacks. Its 2024 funding round will be used to expand its operations into the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions. It's also setting up an engineering center of excellence in Poland.
