Role

Who you are

7+ years building IT and/or corporate security systems at a startup or high-growth company
Deep Okta experience beyond admin work — you’ve deployed advanced identity programs
Strong hands-on Jamf and Intune experience in Mac/Windows environments
Automation-first: Terraform, APIs, scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell), Workflow automation
Comfortable operating across security, IT, and engineering boundaries
Technology person at heart with a passion for the space and does not just see IT as a job

What the job involves

Ambience is scaling fast, and our internal systems need to keep up — securely, automatically, and without slowing anyone down
You’ll be our first dedicated Corporate IT Lead, owning identity, devices, endpoints, and SaaS access across the company
This is not a ticket-queue role
You’ll build the automation and infrastructure that makes IT disappear for employees while raising the security bar across the board
You’ll design identity and device systems that scale with headcount, enforce least-privilege by default, and turn manual IT work into code
The goal: secure, compliant internal systems that people don’t think about — because they just work
Identity & Access Automation — Build Okta joiner/mover/leaver workflows with role-based access, automated provisioning, and clean offboarding. Kill standing access and manual tickets
Device Management & Endpoint Security — Run Jamf and Intune in a mixed Mac/Windows environment. Zero-touch provisioning, compliance baselines, patching, and end-to-end Zero Trust
AI-Forward Operations — Improve the customer and employee experience through AI-driven ticketing, intelligent bots, and automated workflows that reduce resolution time and cut manual toil
Infrastructure as Code — Move IT configs out of admin consoles into Terraform and GitOps. Version-controlled, peer-reviewed, reproducible changes across identity, MDM, and workspace systems
SaaS Governance — SaaS inventory: Provisioning, tools, access, cost, and security reviews and posture. Surface shadow IT, consolidate sprawl, and run access reviews

Our take

Healthcare providers often find themselves overwhelmed by administrative duties like form filing and record coding, detracting from their primary focus on patient care. While these tasks are essential for billing and compliance, they are time-consuming and prone to errors.

In response to this challenge, Ambience Healthcare offers an AI-powered "operating system" designed specifically for healthcare organizations. Its suite of tools automates documentation, coding, and referrals, streamlining workflows for clinicians while enhancing accuracy.

With substantial funding, the company is expanding its business in the US and hopes top potentially include diagnosis in the future. While facing competition from startups like Corti and Babla, Ambience is well-positioned with strong investor backing and a clear focus.
