About this role
Anaconda, Inc. is focused on advancing AI through open source solutions. They are seeking a Manager, IT Systems Engineering to lead a team responsible for IT systems management, identity governance, and automation, ensuring a strategic approach to IT operations.
Responsibilities:
- Lead day-to-day execution across enterprise IT systems, translating strategic initiatives into actionable roadmaps and measurable deliverables - keeping the team focused on outcomes, not just output
- Manage, mentor, and develop a team of IT engineers through structured performance conversations, career development planning, and a culture of ownership and technical excellence
- Evolve identity and access governance by maturing existing Okta Workflows, OIG configurations, and lifecycle management policies - increasing automation coverage and driving audit-ready provisioning through API orchestration
- Advance the Rippling-to-Okta integration, maturing RBAC controls and role-based provisioning models so HR lifecycle events flow cleanly into identity governance, access management, and IT operations
- Design and implement enterprise MDM programs (Kandji, Intune, Hexnode), establishing device lifecycle controls and integrating endpoint governance into broader ITGC frameworks
- Drive SaaS governance and systems standardization across Google Workspace and the broader SaaS portfolio, reducing shadow IT risk through lifecycle processes and integration strategy
- Build and deploy AI agents and enhanced workflows across provisioning, ticket triage, and automation - directly involved in designing, testing, and iterating on agent-based solutions that make identity, endpoint, SaaS, and AI processes work as a cohesive, auditable platform
Requirements:
- 8+ years of experience in enterprise IT engineering, systems administration, or infrastructure roles
- 3+ years of experience managing technical teams, including performance management and career development
- Hands-on experience with Okta (including Workflows and OIG), MDM platforms (Kandji, Intune, or Hexnode), and SaaS governance tools
- Demonstrated experience with Google Workspace administration, including Admin Console, directory services, and identity integration patterns
- Experience with HRIS integrations (Rippling or equivalent) and automating HR-to-IT lifecycle workflows
- Experience implementing IT controls in audit-driven environments, including SOC 2 compliance across access, change, and system operations
- Experience with automation tooling, scripting, and API-based integrations in an enterprise IT context
- You embody our values: 'Curious by Default', 'Build Together', 'Own It', and 'Lead with Guts and Heart', and our behaviors: Clarity, Care and Candor
- You care deeply about fostering an environment where people of all backgrounds and experiences can flourish
- Experience preparing organizations for SOC 2, ISO, or SOX-lite audit readiness, with documented control frameworks and evidence collection processes
- Hands-on experience building or deploying AI agents, LLM-based workflows, or intelligent automation within IT operations - including familiarity with AI governance and enterprise AI risk controls
- Experience scaling IT operations in a high-growth SaaS or open-source environment, where governance and automation maturity had to be built alongside the business
